Audio Stream lists 2 separate Channel(s) why?

[plittlefield]

Hello All,

I am curious as to why the mediainfo output of an MP4 file encoded with this command...

Code: Select all

"/usr/local/bin/HandBrakeCLI" --input "input.mkv" --main-feature --chapters 1 --maxWidth 1280 --maxHeight 720 --crop 0:0:0:0 --encoder x265 --audio-lang-list eng --first-audio --aencoder fdk_aac --ab 384 --mixdown 5point1 --output "hb_latest_x265_test.mp4"

...list two lines of audio (2 and 6 channels)...

Code: Select all

...but I only asked for 6 channels.

I normally use ac3 for surround and aac for stereo, but this time I chose the 'better' fdk_aac encoder.

Why are there 2 listed?

Thanks,
