Convert: How to select audio track?

Postby andrew_h » 30 Dec 2011 19:21

I am using VLC to convert .wtv files into .ts retaining the original video and audio streams. By default, the converter uses the first audio track but for some files I need to select track 2. There does not appear to be an option for this in the GUI and I cannot find a suitable setting in the command line help.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks

Options are

Code: Select all

--audio-track=<integer> Audio track Stream number of the audio track to use (from 0 to n).

Code: Select all

--audio-language=<string> Audio language Language of the audio track you want to use (comma separated, two or three letter country code, you may use 'none' to avoid a fallback to another language).

Code: Select all

--audio-track-id=<integer> Audio track ID Stream ID of the audio track to use.

Ok, this sounds great, but how do I do this when I select convert on the Media menu?

I keep trying this code and it always comes out with the English track instead of the Spanish one that I want to extract.

-audio-track=<integer> Audio track
Stream number of the audio track to use (from 0 to n).

I tried different numbers for the integers but it's always the same audio track. Why isn't it working?

I wouldn't even know where to begin with the second code. Where do I find the country code for the language?
