is this your literal command, including spaces and backslashes? if so,
there's your problem. there's a space in the suboptions to -tv, so
"forceaudio:forcechan=2:norm=ntsc:chanlist=us-cable" is treated as a
second filename to encode, and the -oac option doesn't get applied to
the first file (although it should be a global option..?)

in any case please be sure you've given us the exact command line
you're using. i expect there's something silly going wrong.
