Ok, thanks Woodstock, I think I'm getting it . . .
"When you load a file" means "select a source". The "behaviors" are then used to pre-select tracks according to the rules. At that point, they stop doing anything, . . . .
and
what is auto-selected is what will go into the output
Ok so the behavior dialog box is what automatically happens (and is setup to happen at the point of Encode, I guess) when you load a source file.
If you are manually setting your subtitles (like I do), the behavior screen only affects what you see when you go to the subtitle tab.
Hmm, the only thing I see in the Subtitle Tab is a line put there if you check "
Add Foreign Audio Scan" in the
Behavior dialog box.
Nothing else ever seems to show up there as a result of choices in the Behavior dialog box.
(thus part of my confusion)
Default burn-in behavior is just that - the DEFAULT. If you change it on the subtitle tab, it doesn't switch back to burn-in.
Hmm, not sure what's going on with that.
.
What constitutes "Default" ?
Some internal default of Handbrake ?
Something you've set in the
Behavior dialog box ?
Or, that choice
sets a default ?
Anyway, overall I'm getting that the
Behavior dialog box is what happens and is set up to automatically happen when you load a source file and hit Encode, which was my main question.
By the way, thanks very much (!) everyone for helping me get a handle on how all the settings work in the Subtitles tab.
I really appreciate it !
