Dual-audio stream AVI = Single-audio stream DVD

[cameronyoung]

Hi there,

Not sure if this is the appropriate discussion board for this topic, but here goes..

I am using Nero Vision 7 and burning with a Plextor PX-716SA drive.

I have an AVI movie in two parts which I add to Nero Vision and then merge. Usually I just follow the prompts, turn off the menu option and burn it and presto I have converted my AVIs to DVD. The problem is that the AVI movie I am converting at the moment has two audio streams.

The movie is Dark Side of the Rainbow: Wizard of OZ audio-synced with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. When I play the AVI on my PC, I get both audio streams (i.e. audio from Wizard of OZ and the music from Dark Side of the Moon) which is what I want. When I convert it to DVD through Nero Vision 7, I loose the Dark Side of the Moon audio.

Any ideas? Thankyou.

The fact that you hear both audio tracks when you play the AVI is a glitch/bug on behalf of the AVI player - You shouldn't be able to hear other than one audio track at the time. I'm not familiar with NV, but there should be an option that allows you to select what audio stream to use? Or NV may simply just take the first audio stream it finds.

ConvertXtoDVD can handle up to two audio tracks. Or you can demux the audio and convert it separately, encode the video with a real encoder, then author it all back together again.

If you want both to play together then you will have to demux them, mix them in an audio editor, then bring the new mix back in to replace the two separate tracks. From there you can encode with NV, if that is all you have.
