Description of problem or question:
I am new to your program, I tried converting a MP4 clip from my digital tape saved to computer drive. The clip plays find within Windows. However after converting it using your app, the audio is there when it first starts and then drops out completely after about 1 second.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
I have tried a few different small files and have the same issue.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.2.2 (2019022300)
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Thank you for your response and your suggestion worked for me. Should I by default, use Auto Passthru on all files? If not, how do I make a determination as to when to use it or not to use it? Feel free to direct me to a URL or topic in manual if I can find the answer there.
What did you use to record the digital tape in the first place? It's possibly exposing a limitation of the libavcodec E-AC-3 decoder, which is intriguing…
Rodeo, I used a Canon XHG1Digital Camera. My wife also used her cell phone, a Nokia Icon a few years ago. It may be just the cell phone's files that are giving me the problem. I ran the app on about 4 different files, but now I don't remember If they were all from her cell phone. If this is important to you, I would be happy to try again and log which camera was used and if it is specific to the hardware.
If you can share same clips with problematic E-AC-3 audio via Dropbox or similar, we could take a look at it (nothing will come of it in the short term, but eventually it may be possible to amend the corresponding audio decoder if there's indeed a bug)
It appears as if all of these files were shot on a Nokia Cell Phone. Some from the same performance do play OK. But some either don't play at all or with video throughout but the sound goes away after a couple of seconds. if I use HandBrake with the pass through these files do play well.
Here are two links to some sample files. The image quality is not very good, poor lighting and my wife did not know how to adjust for low light conditions.

I recently discovered Shotcut to correct bad white balance and lighting. Very steep learning curve - maybe a dozen attempts over ~2 weeks before I had half an understanding. It's de-noising and sharpening are not good. It's project settings and export is confusing. I've ended up exporting Shotcut lossless video as FFV1 and lossless audio as FLAC to MKV, then final encode in Handbrake with its denoising and sharpening. Yes, two encodes, but much better looking video then when I started.
Thanks andrewk89 for the tip. I will give it a try. None of those clips above have gone through any kind of an editor. I have used Premiere in the past, but since they went to a subscription base program, I don't have the volume of clips to justify the expense. I will give shortcut a try, hopefully they used Premiere as their blueprint.
