Hi guys. Ive noticed that when the recording format is set to .mpg my recorded files have multiple audio tracks. I play the recorded programmes in VLC or Media Player classic which causes some issues. VLC allows you to switch audio tracks if it happens that the audio is on track 2. But MPC doesn't (AFAIK) so you sometimes have a video file with no sound.

By angrybadger

It appears random as to whether the audio track is in the right place to allow MPC to play it back.

Ive uploaded a sample video file for you to see here

I dont seem to have any problem with .ts recordings. I dont know if the other audio track occurs because it captures the audio description track that's broadcast on UK Freeview for hard of sight people or if its a problem with my set up.

Anyone have any ideas or seen this before?
