NOBODY CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION, FOR SOME REASON

Hey guys-

I've been searching for weeks. I'm a long time burner, and I've run into a major problem. I have a Divx AVI file that has two different language tracks. The primary one, the default, is German (which I don't want). I'm trying to make DVD-VCD's (using a DVD-R, using Mpeg1's, pulling off the whole 450 minutes of v/a) which have one of the audio tracks (the English, the secondary). Does anyone know how to choose a track of audio and make the necessary adjustments? I know BSPlayer can switch audio tracks, but I need to CHOOSE one of the tracks, and convert it to 48khz for my Mpeg 1 burn. I've found a few guides, but they all seem to be a shade off of what I'd like to do. Is there a simple answer to this? And if not, could anyone point me in the direction of an efficient way to do this? I'm making a collection of episodes, so I can't really afford utilizing 10 programs to do this task. What's the most efficient?

I'm already utilizing TpmgEnc, Isobuster, Ulead DVD Studio, Scenarist, and more...

Any of those programs have a way to do this?

If you load the video in Goldwave, do both tracks appear? If so, simply delete the unwanted track.

[badkarma9000]

Naw, only the German does, in Stereo.

Unless there's a way to switch audio tracks, but i can't find it. I just seem to have two synchronous tracks of German.

But the English is in there somewhere, cuz like I said, I can play it in BSPlayer.

there might be an easier way, but here is one method.

get a copy of Total Recorder from www.highcriteria.com, or AAA Real Recorder (check google), or possibly Audacity ( audacity.sourceforge.net )

What you want is a recorder that can record the Stereo Mix from your computer - basically the mix that gets sent to your Line Out of your soundcard.

Turn off any system beeps or mouse click noises in Control Panel, then open up Total Recorder, select to record from Stereo Mix. Then open up the video player, choose your audio track, hit play, then hit record on Total Recorder.

Like I said, it's a kinda kludgy workaround, but it should work.

[badkarma9000]

Awesome, thanks. I'll go ahead and start working on that. In the meantime: If there's anyone that has a method that is faster than real-time recording, please holler out.

Thanks for all your help, and please, if anyone else has any answers please post.

Have you tried Virtualdub? That may allow you to demux the tracks.

[Boolean]

You can use Nandub to save a secondary audio track. If you have problems with doing that then you can always use graphedit a bit more complicated I admit but it works.

[badkarma9000]

Awesome. Have it downloaded... It seems to work just like Virtual Dub, which I'm pretty familiar with... Now, what steps do I take to export out that secondary audio track to a simple .wav that I can mix with the .avi into Mpeg1?

In simpler terms-- How do I export out a secondary track to a 44.1 khz wav file?

[Boolean]

It works exactly the same as VirtualDub but you have access to the Second audio track via the audio menu. If you know the steps required in Virtualdub for a single audio just do the same for the second. I don't have the program on this PC (I'm at work) so cannot give you step by step instructions.

[badkarma9000]

I've got the program and I know how to use Virtual Dub to do the one track of audio. When you get home, do you think you could forward me any simple steps I might be missing to get the second stream? I'm trying here and I think 1 or 2 steps off.

[macleod]

have you tried to use dvv2svcd from www.dvdsvcd.org? I have never had a two track avi file, however, when I do my dvd backup's it lists all the audio tracks and then I just select the one that I want.

ps. it also accepts avi files.

[badkarma9000]

That link you have is broken or mistyped. Also, I want to go to Mpeg1 for a VCD-DVD. Will that program let me do that, or does it only encode for SVCD's?

[Donny661]

take a look at this guide.

[badkarma9000]

Thats how I normally encode VCD's. I'm familiar with that formula. Now how, using the programs that I would in there (TMPGE or whatever, and VirtualDub) can I make that second layer of audio into a wav for me to use? BTW- I think that Nanbug thing was on the right track. It's a buggy program, but if I could get it to work and figure out how to do the last step I'd be in business.
