I'm trying to cut down the filesizes of my gameplay footage, as well as ensure a consistant framerate so my video editor program is usable on my computer with my gameplay footage. I have 2 audio tracks on each video, one for computer audio and another for microphone audio.
When I go to convert the video with Handbrake, it automatically decides to encode only a single audio track and delete the second. I tried to set up a preset to include both, but then I end up in the stupid situation of Handbrake encoding the computer audio twice onto two tracks.
I can select the second audio track containing the microphone audio to manually be placed onto the second audio track, but this is a tedious and time-consuming process when I batch convert my videos. Is there a way to force Handbrake to put the next audio track onto the next audio track slot or something to avoid needing to manually ensure every single video is using the correct audio tracks?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Open Handbrake with file, select preset including two audio tracks, go to audio tab, see that Handbrake duplicates the first audio track instead of placing the second audio track in the second slot.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Handbrake 1.7.3
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
