Encoding a bunch of recordings to 265 but wanted to preserve the existing AC3 track. It looks like the following lines got it to work, but I just wanted to make sure. ffmpeg-audioac3=-acodec copy handbrake-audio=-E copy -a 1,2,3,4,5 Also, why does the existing MKV HQ profile re-encode AC3 to AC3?…

Confirmation for AC3 passthru

You’re missing the AC3 at the end. Your profile is saying that it applies only to non AC3 audio for handbrake conversions.
