Thorsted<p>Ok <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/avpres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>avpres</span></a> question. We recently digitized an old umatic tape with a documentary on it. Only one audio stream in stereo with the left side being English and right side being Vietnamese. Currently the MKV only has English for the audio stream. Without splitting the audio stream into two, what is the best way to manage the technical metadata? <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a></p>
