QSF issue - Audio Descriptive Programming

[KryptoNyte]

I have one show that I record that seems to have a recurring issue that I don't know how to handle.

This show's original mpg file has three audio streams. After QSF and Ad Detective are run, there is only one audio stream in the resulting file (the first stream I believe). It turns out with this one show that the audio stream that remains has the "Audio Descriptive Programming," or "ADB" (the voice-over that describes what's happening for the visually impaired) included.

For some reason, when I play the original source file in, say, VLC, it picks the correct stream automatically, without the ADB. Is there a little trick I can apply to always get VAP, or rather VRD's QSF to choose the correct video stream (typically AC3 5-channel)?

I understand this probably isn't a VAP issue specifically, but thought I'd ask the brains around here.

In gui VRD you can load a video file then select Tools ... QuickStream Fix.
In the QSF dialog there is a Select Stream button which will allow you to select the video and audio stream PID's to process.

Use Ctrl-L to see what streams are there and what their PID's are.

For VAP there is a a FileOpenBatchPIDS COM function which the help says you can specify the video and audio PIDs. I've never tried it and you still would have the problem of determining what PID numbers to process. Right now there is no way for VAP to know what streams are in the file. If there were a way, it's still not clear how to cleanly integrate choosing the streams for processing in an automatic process flow.

Thanks, DL. This situation seems to occur so rarely that I can probably just handle these recordings manually.
