Thanks. That's a hell of a lot better than what I was coming up with but, I've still got a few bugs...<br><br>When I play the file back in VLC it reports two audio streams the first is silent the second appears to be the #2 audio stream from the original file, ffmpeg only show's the one audio stream and totem-gstreamer has no audio at all.
