Command Line (CLI) audio stream selection?

Post by Iskondi »

Hey!

First off, absolutely awesome program!! Thank you so much. I have a question and I looked around but couldn't find the answer so I figured I'd ask.

Is there a way using the CLI to select which audio/subtitle stream you rip? I've gotten it to rip title 0 but it has all the audio/subtitle tracks and I just want the English.

Or should I be using another command line program to rip out the streams I want after and repackage into MKV?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks Mike.
Until it's an option I was able to download and use mkvtoolnix to get it done from the command line as part of my script:
mkvmerge.exe -o C:\Output\Directory\Filename.mkv -a 2 -S C:\Input\Directory\Filename.mkv (That grabs all the video tracks, the audio track labeled 2 (which from what I saw is the first audio track since the video track is labeled 1) and NO subtitles (since I'm going to WMV I cannot use them :-( )

Thanks again Mike, and what a great product!!
