[SOLVED] 'Cannot change audio and save into a preset'

Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2019 7:25 pm
by larryw31
I've read the other posts on this subject and they were not solved. Would someone please post the exported .json code for a preset with 'aac passthrough' enabled? Maybe I can replace that into my .json.

ANd for goodness gracious, PLEASE reposition the 'save as' box back next to the 'title' box and 'add to queue' button.


Description of problem or question:

'Cannot change audio and save into a preset' Whenever I choose the "saved" aac passthrough preset for use on encode, it reverts to the original AAC (avcodec)

BUT, the queue (even with app restart) seems to maintain a pending encode with aac passthrough enabled.

Media info shows the input file, the aac converted file, and the aac passthrough file as all exact same audio info, except the (audio) 'Delay relative to video' is up to 50ms different on each..

The completed output file sizes are different, with the aac passthrough enabled file being 10MB larger on this encode. I assume this means the aac passthrough is working, just cannot be saved to the preset.

EDIT: Just remembered I tried to change aac bitrate several months ago and that change would also not save into a new preset.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Load input (.mkv)
Change audio to AAC passthrough
Save new preset and make default
Close and open Handbrake
Load input (.mkv)
Audio is not aac passthrough, even though using that preset, but standard default.

On the audio tab, select Selection Behavior and adjust the rules there. Then save a new preset.

Whoa, that's bad... I've been staring at this program for two days and never saw that track selection was a button. Thanks!
