In the dropdown list of Format menu, you can find several MKV options for output. Here we recommend "Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV (* mkv)" under "Multi-track Video" catalogue. Because it will save multiple video, audio and subtitle tracks form original Blu-ray in output MKV and you won't suffer any quality loss.

In default system setting, every track is checked for lossless MKV output. If you want to remove one of them, just uncheck it from the list. Check "Encode" option, you can change audio parameters like codec, channels according to your needs. In this way, if you don't like DTS audio, you can choose to remove it or convert to AC3 here.

Note: If you change audio parameters under "Encode" option, you will get a encoded multi-track MKV file, not lossless multi-track MKV. Recoding Blu-ray to MKV will take a little more time for conversion than lossless output.

4. Backup Blu-ray to lossless MKV for Samsung Smart TV.

When everything is ready, you can click "Convert" button to start converting Blu-ray to lossless MKV with multiple audio tracks and subtitles keeping.
