How to use --audio option?

Does the --audio (-a) switch take just the audio track number, or a string?

In other words, do I use '--audio 3' or '--audio English' or maybe '--audio "English (AC3) (5.1 ch)"' ?

Thanks

...Will encode first audio track (and so on)

Yea, the help (--help) isn't to helpful for that as it states, as you are well aware of:

Code: Select all

-a, --audio <string>    Select audio channel(s) ("none" for no audio, default: first one)
Now I must admit I haven't tried this yet but does '-a 0' the same as -a none? Just curious. As I'm thinking of making my own little page similar to the wiki's UsedCLIFlags but also include the the --* variant of the flag along with the --help synopsis... eventually leading to examples to clarify everything.

Why reinvent the wheel instead of contributing to existing resources?

Of course but once its a little more than a pi in the sky idea to work on when I have some free time & willing to sit at a computer and actively think :)

Somehow I never did spot that wiki page... then again last time I was really searching the wiki for any useful information was well before I converted from the GUI to CL variants.
