How to use LPCM audio in Handbrake - version 1.4.2.

Post by Kaelyn »

On a DVD with music I can choose the audio LPCM. I'd rather use the LPCM uncompressed, so I have the hightest quality audio. When I choose LPCM for Audio, which Codec should I choose in Handbrake? I cannot find a matching Codec.

HandBrake version 1.4.2 :

There is no LPCM passthru, but you can passthru DTS or AC3 where the tracks are available.

LPCM will always be re-encoded.

For LPCM, you should use the FLAC encoder and the Matroska container (HandBrake cannot mux FLAC in MP4).
