Step 2: Select Dolby TrueHD audio, output format and specify save path
Tick off whatever .m2ts streams you want to copy. Generally speaking, select the .m2ts video stream with the longest playing time will be OK, because it is the main movie of the Blu-ray. Of course, if you would like to copy the extras of the Blu-ray movie, you can select several .m2ts files at a time, and check “Merge into one file” to combine them all to be as a single file. WAF converter supports more than 20 well known formats.

Click the drop-down list of “Audio” option, then a list of audio tracks will be presented, and normally, the first one should be Dolby TrueHD, if in doubt, you can play them one by one to check which one is the proper Dolby TrueHD audio track you want.

Meanwhile, you should select output format from the drop-down list of “Format”, here I choose “MKV HD Video (*.mkv) for instance, or if you just need copy Blu-ray movies without any quality loss and changing video format, you can select “Copy” and then “Directly Copy”. After that, click “Browse” button to specify where to store the output files, if not, the program will export the output file to the default save path automatically, and these files can be easily found via clicking “Open” button as soon as copying work is completed.

Step 3: Set advanced settings
Click “Settings” button, and then you can adjust audio and video parameters such as video and audio codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channels on the interface showing below. To keep Dolby TrueHD audio to the greatest extent, 6 channels is your choice.
