Using multiple audio streams

Post by mohahn »

I'm using Handbrake v1.6.1 using CLI on Ubuntu 23.04. For easiness I'm using presets, i.e. "HQ 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround". I try to grab audio and subtitle streams for German and English using following CMD:

Code: Select all

HandBrakeCLI -i '/video/2012.mkv' -o '/video/2012.tmp' --encopts pools=2 --preset "HQ 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround" --audio-lang-list ger,eng --native-language ger --native-dub --subtitle scan --subtitle-forced --all-audio --format av_mkv
This produces the following log (I've shortened the log):

Code: Select all

As one can see, HandBrake detects two 5.1 DTS audio streams in source file, one for German, one for English. But as you can see in JSON for output file it produces a 5.1 AC-3 stream for German and a downsampled stereo stream for German, but only one downsampled audio stream for English. I'm missing a 5.1 stream for English.

How to accomplish, that I have a 5.1 and a stereo stream for both languages, but still being able to use a preset string instead of a full complex command?

Because conversion will take 6 hours, I've terminated final encoding, but log will contain all relevant data up to that point.

Re: Using multiple audio streams

Post by Woodstock »

It would seem that the CLI is using the selection rules set up in the preset "HQ 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround", rather that being told what track to select. So, it would be best to see what that preset selects. You have two sources, but there are 3 selected audio sources per the log... the third one being the English track for just the stereo track.

I'd check that preset to make sure it is selecting both tracks for both levels. You're bypassing the selection process in your command line, so you're dependent upon the preset's selections.

The preset that's used is defined here. But I'm able to overwrite the output format. The preset is defined as MP4, but I can force MKV output by using "--format av_mkv" in CLI. So it seems, that preset can be modified, by following parameters. I have no idea, what to do else. Do I really have to write full command instead of using a preset now?

The preset defines two audio streams in output. A 5.1 and a stereo stream. I can't see any language dependency in preset JSON. There is a "AudioTrackSelectionBehavior" set to "first" which should be overwritten by "--all-audio" (remember: the output format could be modified though).
