Automatic AC3 / Dolby playback in MP4 streams

Is it possible to set either Roku or the Emby server to default to the Dolby Audio track in a MP4 video file?  I rip my DVD and BluRay in Handbrake with the IPAD 3 profile; this creates an AAC and Dolby audio tracks.  (The Apple speck calls for the AAC to be first)  If not, could this be a possible request in future updates?

 

Many Thanks.

Try marking them as the default track.

Can this be done in the Emby Server?  I dont want to re-rip or remux 100"s of movies.

No, but you don't have to re-rip them.  You should be able to edit the track properties only.

 

I would try with one to see if it does what you want.

 Any tools you could suggest?

MKVToolNix I think will do the job.

 

MKVToolNix won't work for mp4/m4v unless you plan on remux to Matroska first (at least the header editor won't, and it only outputs Matroska anyway).  mp4box should be able to do this.  I haven't had to do this personally outside of remuxing, but the -set-track-id and -swap-track-id options look like they would be appropriate.

Oops - sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention to the container :).  Thanks Waldonnis.

Well, for now I will just rip as MKV with AC3.  If this gets added as an update, I can run the MKV video with MKVtoMP4.  It will tag the video and I can add an AAC 2.0 track by encoding the AC3.

 

I really like tagging my videos with info and artwork.
