This is strange behavior but it has been happening to me for years but since I haven't been ripping many Blu-Rays I kept forgetting about it. It seems when I run these rips through Batch and encode to HEVC I end up with an extra HEVC video stream of 00.00.00 length that is not very large but the problem is when this extra stream is present the correct video stream will not play in emby.

Because of this I am forced to use MKVToolNix to remove the video stream and this is tedious and laborious when you have just ripped 175 TV show episodes in Blu-Ray.

I don't know the reason this is happening and I was wondering if anyone had any idea and if there is anything I need to do to avoid them?

My encoding parameters are as follows:

-map 0 -c:v hevc_nvenc -vf "format=yuv420p10le" -c:a copy -c:s copy -preset p7 -rc constqp -rc-lookahead 60 -spatial_aq 1 -temporal_aq 1 -nonref_p 1 -cq 26

If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate them as this is frustrating and a lot of work.

Thanks
