Hi!
I've been trying to set up a script creating and running jobs from a command line on fresh MPEG2 files flowing into a directory but there's one major problem I don't know how to solve. The dialog box pops up with some files asking to select the audio stream out of the two available. Is there a way to default it to the first stream always so it doesn't pop up anymore?
Needless to say this dialog box wrecks the whole idea of automatic encoding I've been trying to set up.
Any help will be very appreciated.

Hi!

From your description of the subject matter, I presume your original source material is DVDs.

If so, you can avoid this problem by simply excluding all but the first (or desired) audiostream when you initially rip the DVD. This can be done if you're using any of the following (and undoubtedly others as well) for ripping: DVD Decrypter, SmartRipper, DVD Shrink, the RipIt4Me "package"...

..err no, this is DVB-T stuff from SageTV. Just trying to run compressing/archiving jobs on some TV. Unfortunately I don't see any options to tweak in SageTV so that the audio is stripped off of unwanted audiostreams.
Interestingly recording from the same channel, consecutive episodes sometimes yields single sometimes multi-stream audio files ... Must be some imperfections in translating original DVB-T signal by either the grabber (Nova-T 500) or SageTV itself. But all the files always play back flawlessly anyway.
