The market floods with newer and newer technology, allowing consumers to be less easily impressed and more picky. Previously, they got satisfaction when they succeed to play Blu-ray/DVD of region A/B/C and backup commercial Blu-ray/DVD with 2 channel audio. Now, they want more. They want to preserve more than one audio and subtitle tracks when copying Blu-ray/DVD disc collection. For example, if their Blu-ray/DVD discs contain 6 audio channels, they want to keep these 6 channels, not one only just. They want to switch the sound track optionally to get different movie viewing experience or just get on the listening training. To preserve multi-track audio, copying Blu-ray/DVD to MKV is the top consideration for the compatibility and excellent video quality of MKV. Backing up Blu-ray/DVD to MKV can keep AC3 DTS 6 channels, which give you a whole lot better in the realm of audio. 

AC3 audio is born with extremely good audio effect. It enables you to feel original Blu-ray/DVD audio and surround sound. The AC3 audio file extracted from Blu-ray/DVD contains no subtitle, which is customized to listening practice for both personal study and public instructional use. With great meritorious recoverability, AC3 audio can be recovered, with excellent recovery effect. All information within 6 channels is digitalized in the processes of making and restoring, so the information loss is very small. Comparing to AC3, DTS, its coding method sounds better due to higher bit rates and less compression. And with DTS format, you also can get 6 audio channels of Blu-ray/DVD discs.  So if you want to get great sound for Blu-ray/DVD movies, copying Blu-ray/DVD to MKV with AC3 DTS 6 channels is the best choice.
