Selecting all audio tracks #188

Open briangoodman opened 1 year ago

briangoodman commented 1 year ago

The help file excerpt below leads me to believe there is no parameter that selects all audio tracks without excluding the main track. --add-audio TRACK|all|LANGUAGE|STRING[=WIDTH] add single audio track by number including main audio track or all audio tracks excluding main audio track

Is there a set of --add-audio parameters that will select all audio tracks?

Thanks,

Brian

@briangoodman Correct. There is no option to select all audio tracks and exclude the main audio track. All is all.

Why do you want to exclude the main audio track?

briangoodman commented 1 year ago

Don,

I do want all tracks. Thanks for the clarification.

Regards,

Brian

P.S. The way the help is formatted made me think that the all parameter actually excludes the main track. Take a look at the attached help file screenshot. It gives the definite impression that the main track is excluded using the All parameter.

@briangoodman Yes, you're correct then in that meaning. But that's only because you can't deselect the main audio track. This behavior also allows you to set the width of all other audio tracks besides the main track.

Thanks Don. In that case, it might be worth amending the help file for greater clarity: “or all audio tracks excluding main audio track (which cannot be deselected)”

@briangoodman Thanks for the feedback! But I probably won't change it.
