Queue Multiple Audio Tracks Warning

I'm using Avidemx 2.5 to convert TV records to MP4 format. Some recors got multiple audio tracks as AC3 and MP2 or even multiple languages. So I select the main track from the audio menu and it is working fine as long as I just save it. But if I add it to queue and run the queue with multiple conversion, I got a warning message about multiple tracks and the queue does not continue until I click ok on the warning messagebox. Due for me it the sense of the queue to run conversions as long as I am away from PC, this messagebox is interrupting the queue processing.

Any chance to avoid this?

thanks and regards

I'm afraid you need other workflow:
use 2.6 (can handle up to 4 audiotracks)
adjust your audio tracks 1st:
use copy for both video and audio
Menu audio (enable wanted/disable unwanted tracks)
save to new video file
enqueue newly save video

or process only video from same source, same audio track layout, then next source.

see for audio: [ur=http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,10499.0.htmll]2.6 audio track switching in job.py[/url]
batch processing: Sample script : Convert a whole folder
fast editing: demo trim/cut/edit video 2.6 branch way

I got 2.6 installed in parallel, so far it is working.

But got some constraints:
- Is there a possibility in 2.6 to hear the track in audio track selection? There 4 tracks, some with different languages and it some kind of lottery to chose one
- If I select "shutdown after processing" for the queue processing, the PC  already shuts down after the first job (of 4)
- Is there a chance to edit jobs after they have been added to queue?

When you do this in audio, order and available tracks are distprted.
I'm using VLC -> Tools -> Codec information to check the audio tracks.
Just keep in mind VLC Stream 1 is Avidemux Track 0

For videos on regular basis coming from the same TV station, I use  project files.
