Hello,
Is there a way to tell XBMC to use AAC (Audio Track 1) by default, instead of AC3 (Audio Track 2) for an mp4?
I've batch encoded all my files using Handbrake's AppleTV 2 preset. For 95% of the media files, this works fine. However, there are some that no matter what I do, the AC3 file has occasional audio glitches in it. Switching to the AAC file works. I play files to a 2.1 soundbar that only receives PCM, doesn't decode AC3.
MediaInfo of a problematic file:
Thank you!
