Option for not including any audio at all in output?

[Dublinio]

Sorry if this is already a feature and I've just missed it.

On occasion I work with files that did not originate with any audio tracks, and I'm trying to get a transcoded output that also has no audio whatsoever. Even with files that do have audio, attempting to create a workflow that results in the same video with no sound did result in a larger file than an equivalent with sound.

Eventually I selected a mono track with 16-bit audio for the smallest possible size, but just not creating any dummy silent audio tracks at all would have been my preferred result.

If this is not a feature I can always go with my attempted compromise, I just wanna make sure that I'm not missing something.

Thanks very much! I really like the software.

Hey Dublinio,

Hello Dublinio ,

If you don't want any audio track, you should use a custom ffmpeg Node with this command :
"-vcodec mpeg2video -s 1920x1080 -b:v 50000k -maxrate 50000k -bufsize 3835k -minrate 50000k -r 25 -flags ilme -top 1 -profile:v 0 -level:v 2 -an"
Set "mxf" for extension.
So Monitor folder>Custom FFmpeg node>Delivery folder

Hope it helps.
