Hi Mdhiggins,

You already helped me to use GPU encoding and then to generate proper HDR files usign GPU conversion. That’s still working fine. Thanks for that.

I’d like you to help me with the subtitles, I can’t figure out how this works and don’t understand what I need to do to achieve my objective. I already tried a lot of option combinations but without any success so I decided to ask you directly.

My objective is to retrieve in my MKV output files, the relevant subtitles that were present in the source file (relevant means ENG + FRA subtitles, whatever the format : SRT or PGS, I don’t mind losing the other files).

Please see below my autoprocess.ini, if you could tell me what I’m doing wrong, I’d appreciate.

With embed-subs = False embed-image-subs = False embed-only-internal-subs = False your script extract the sub from the mkv input but I can’t find a way to reinject them in the output MKV or even simply copy the streams from input to output.

I also struggle with audio streams : I want to keep only True HD and DTS streams and create a universal audio stream. Can you help me with the settings to achieve this ?

Finally could you also explain how to use “stream-codec-combinations =” ?

Thanks
