Initial goal: from .TS file(s) (1080p) recorded from digital TV programme; produce smaller .mp4 file, 720p, with two audio tracks: French (local) and English (original). Single TS file produced by straight concatenation of several 1Gb original files. Whatever I do, the HandBrake output audio tracks are all in French!
Minimal version. I used ffmpeg to create from the .ts file a .mp4 file with just one audio stream: English.
ffmpeg -i The_Misfits.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy The_Misfits_ENonly.mp4
And then I use that as input to HandBrake. The role of HandBrake being to resize, decrease bitrate, de-interlace, and merge a .srt butitle file.
First check that this "ad hoc" input has just one audio stream:
ffmpeg -i The_Misfits_ENonly.mp4
(...)

- Indeed, when played with VLC, there is just one audio available, and that is English.
- When I run HandBrake, and ask for a 30-s preview (player VLC) result is as expected: one audio track, English (file is .mkv)
- But!!! the output from HandBrake has one audio track, in French, as found playing with VLC the output file of HandBrake
- Why is HandBrake producing an output different from what is requested, and different from the Preview?
- Where the hell did it get the French Audio track from?
See above. Both the original .ts file and the restricted input The_Misfits_ENonly.mp4 are >5Gb, so I can hardly upload or attach them.
