[QUOTE="ixian, post: 518313, member: 54932"] DTS is tricky. The reason you see it outputting to DTS format is because your system doesn't have a way to convert DTS in to FLAC. The reason it doesn't is because the codecs needed to do it aren't freely available - there's a specific Arcsoft one that will do it, along with a commercial one I can't remember the name of. Right now if you just rip the DTS track raw you won't have a system that can play it - it will default to whatever lossy track you did rip. There's more on this on Doom9 in the EAC2AC3 forum. Well "random failures" can mean a wide range of things. It could be codecs. Or an older version of mkvtoolnix. But probably codecs. Muxing shouldn't have any effect on audio/video quality but in the end, it's a PC, everyone is different so do what works for you but I've actually watched a lot of the movies I've ripped (instead of just archiving them) and I don't have any problems.
