Quick Question about Dual Audio AVI Files

[StarlightMaker]

Okay, so I used AutoGK to make a DivX of a DVD. The file has two different audio tracks, but I have no idea how to use the second one! Please tell me how I access this. Thanks!

Depends on the player. If it has support for multiple audio streams, then there should be an audio section in the menus where you can select. If it doesn't support multiple streams (WMP for example), then you just get both at once unless you install a 3rd party filter.

Media player classic will let you choose the audio stream. Look under the the menu option play then choose audio. If you have more than one audio stream then it will show up in the list. Just choose the one you want.

Players seem to default to the first audio stream. I created a few and in my experience the audio streams do not play all at once.

Either you have enough sense not to use Windows Media Player, or you already have a filter installed, such as the Morgan Stream Switcher, or both.

Morgan Stream Switcher... yes you are right! On both counts.

No... I usually don't prefer to use Windows Media Player. I was using Real Player and that's usually the video player I use. However, I downloaded Media Player Classic, and everything's working. Now, the only thing is that I plan on puting the AVI files with dual audio on a CD-R. What program should I do this in? I usually use Real Player to put AVI files on a disc.

If they are in Real Player on this disc... let's say I go to another computer and take the file off onto the hard drive of that new computer. If that computer has Media Player Classic, would I be able to open the AVI file with that player and switch between the audios?? Thanks!

RealPlayer lets you burn data discs?

As long as you burn the videos straight to a data disc as-is, there should be no problems. In fact, you can even include Media Player Classic on the disc, and whoever has the disc can simply load it, and then load the movies. I don't know if it might be necessary to have a splitter (Haali, Morgan Stream Switcher, etc.) to play the audio tracks properly on a different computer, though. (hi, Manono... )

Yes, MediaPlayerClassic is great for this. All you need to do to switch audio streams is to hit the "A" character on your keyboard.

MPC has a built in audio switcher, avi splitter, mp3, AC3, aac, vorbis, DTS, etc. audio decoder. You would need to load a video decoder if you wanted to make sure that it works. Fortunatly MPC can load dshow filters on the fly though, no need to install.
