command line to convert video and copy all audio tracks untouched

[lvving]

Description of problem or question:
I am trying to use the CLI to convert a file, MKV in this case, by converting the video track to H.265 but copy all audio tracks, untouched. The command line I used is:

handbrakecli -i "%~d1%~p1%~n1%~x1" -e x265 -q 20 --audio-lang-list und --all-audio -E copy --all-subtitles -o "output.mkv"

According to mediainfo, the starting file looks like this:

After using the command line listed above, the video converted, but no audio tracks were copied at all.

Can someone please post the proper command line to convert video but copy all audio tracks untouched? It needs to be generic so it works for all audio tracks, if there are more than one and also leave them untouched.
I have been trying to get this to work for several weeks now and nothing I try is consistent. The same command line listed above will work for a different MKV with no issues.

Some audio formats will not pass through Handbrake, and must be encoded to survive.

Since you like command lines, ffmpeg and avisynth are better candidates.

I actually use ffmpeg for most conversions but occasionally it balks so I use HB as an alternative. I changed the above command line to
handbrakecli -i "%~d1%~p1%~n1%~x1" -e x265 -q 20 --all-audio -E copy --all-subtitles -o "output.mkv" (removing --audio-lang-list und)
and it seems to work without error but will not help with unknown audio tracks. The two MKVs that were failing in ffmpeg and HCLI until I removed that option and they work now. Only a temporary solution since the audio tracks were recognized.

The reason I am using command line options is because this is all scripted as part of a package.

HandBrake 1.3.0 uses "any" to mean any track and "und" to mean unknown language tracks. Prior to 1.3.0, "und" meant any.

Good to know. Removing UND and upgrading to 1.3.1 seems to be working on the same files that were failing previously.
Thanks.

HandBrake 1.3.0 uses "any" to mean any track and "und" to mean unknown language tracks. Prior to 1.3.0, "und" meant any.
