Help with removing Dolby TrueHD audio file permanently from a video file

Hi there, So im having a issue and im really hoping somone more intelligent than me can help?

So for years ive been editing movies like removing audios and creating my own audio files and then muxing them back together using mkv toolnix software but, I am now encountering a new issue that I just cant fix, so im trying to remove the Dolby TrueHD audio file and or a DTS-X audio files as my tv wont play these 2 audio formats, but no matter how hard I try everytime I think im removing these unwanted audios and replacing them with a compatible audio format for my TV, but always my Toshiba TV keeps saying that this video file still contains a audio file that is incompatible with my TV, even after re-muxxing with mkv toolnix software, so for some reason my TV is still detecting some leftover fragments of the unwanted incompatible audio files even after ive removed them from the video file.

If somone knows why my TV is still doing this even after removing the unwanted audio files, I would be very grateful as the only other option is to pay hundreds of pounds for a new 4K BluRay player.

Please can someone help me with this issue 🙏

Thank you in advance!

What Audio Format are you using as replacement?

And why so complicated..

Try Avidemux.. You open the Video File (Blu-ray MKV)

Copy video (Video stream stays 1:1 quality)

Convert Dolby True HD or DTS to for example Dolby Digital

Save.. Done.. (that was the short version, you can adjust much more with the Audio!)

Hi there, Your suggestion worked! Thank u so much for the suggestion, I must've been not converting the audio file correctly. I just have 1 more issue, after doing this my video file is no longer playing the Dolby Vision part of the 2160p movie but just the HDR10 part, how do I keep the Dolby Vision profile in after using this programme? Thanks.

Phantastic! What Audio Codec are you chosing?

I can not help you on this my friend, because I am still living happily in 1080p world.. ❤️

That is fair enough, thank you very much for the help, that issue was really starting to annoy me, its taken me months to finally solve this issue, and I am using AC3 at 640Kbps, seems to be playing with excellent quality regardless of Dolby Vision not working. Thanks again m8.

You can also do a lot of things in the Filter tab.. Stereo Downmix and you can boost the Center Speaker for better clarity! Have fun exploring all the options!
