Retaining the surround 5.1 audio? #84

Closed rdlugosz closed 9 years ago

rdlugosz commented 9 years ago

I'm new to the world of ripping my BD collection to my nas, so thanks for a really helpful tool! After my first rip (The Aviator), I noticed that the audio was saved as 2 channel mp3, instead of the dolby digital 5.1 that exists on the blu ray.

Did I do something wrong or is it not possible to retain the bd audio in the rips?

Config is stock from the example.

You'll need to modify your handbrake arguments in your settings.cfg. Here's an example of my settings for a 720p movie with 5.1 surround sound:

# The HandBrake command line options and arguments
# Configure this to change output quality
# each line should start with -
com:
    -   --x264-preset="slow"
    -   --two-pass
    -   --turbo
    -   -q 22
    -   --markers
    -   --x264-tune="film"
    -   --encoder="x264"
    -   --width 1280
    -   --height 720
    -   -x level=4.1
    -   -B 384
    -   -E fdk_aac
    -   -6 5point1

Ah - Thanks. I since discovered https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide and was a bit blown away by the number of available options... this is a very helpful starting point!
