[mythtv-users] Audio tracks in Handbrake User Job

Hi there...

I've been using a User Job (I think i was Kris Bee's) for transcoding
SD shows broadcast on an HD channel to save some space.

Have had zero problems with it. Recorded an SD show off of WNED (PBS
in Buffalo) and the show's audio was a radio station.

Turns out the particular PBS cub-channel was broadcasting 4 audio
tracks, all listed as undetermined. I thought handbrake's default was
to go to the first audio track but it appears to be one of the
subsequent ones.

Anywhoo, the handrake line in question is this:

/usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI --preset='iPhone & iPod Touch' -i
$MYTHDIR/$MPGFILE -o $newname

Should I be adding "-a 1" to the command line to force it to choose
the first audio track? Not near my box right now to try this out.

Thanks.
