Appreciate your comments

I don't understand your question - and what comments are needed here?

Someone have just added second AC3 audio stream and wrapped it in stupid mkv container, so how different it is from any videos with dual (or more) MP3 audios in avi container? Nothing new here, it is (and always has been) doable, nothing to comment... maybe with exception of poor choice of container...

Greets,

You can easily accomplish muxing different audio, video and subtitle streams into the mkv format with mkvmerge from mkvtoolnix. MKV Matroska is a great and very flexible container with low overhead. It is a fairly new container and better tools for working with it are being developed. As opposed to more mature formats like avi which are not up to par for wrapping the latest codecs such as H.264 with AC3 DD audio. One does not have to use virtualdub to work with mkv.

Not sure what format the above poster is a fanboy of since they view mkv as 'stupid'. Frankly, I don't really care - their loss. I'm sure back in the day there were people who thought the light bulb was 'stupid' and it would never replace their beloved candles -shrugs-. Don't let his / her pessimism of mkv put you off a fine container.

Cheers,
Rick

We're all entitled to an opinion,no matter how idiotic it may be.....

drwho,

That file was saved with virtualdubmod, not virtualdub. Vdubmod gives you the option of saving to .ogm or mkv, in addition to avi. Vdub does not, although its author is considering adding support for output plugins to it, which would give it that ability if someone writes an MKV output plugin for it. Vdubmod is no longer developed and its support for mkv is reputed to be flaky. You'd be better off using the tools RickA suggests.

When Divx 7 comes out, it will use the MKV container. It'll be interesting to see what that does for MKV's acceptance. Hopefully we'll see Divx-certified AVC-in-MKV capable DVD players someday.

Look who's talking LOL - certainly the only one who fits description of a "fanboy" is actually you

No doubt matroska container has some advantages, same as avi container has some advantages over matroska, but no doubt the only "players" capable of playing matroska containers are just the computers (and I'm not talking about any newest h264 codecs and multiple AC3 streams but *any kind* - including any plain old mpeg4 with plain old mp3 in a matroska container).

World certainly doesn't need another stupid divx certification, only the shareholders of the crooked Divx Networks Inc. do
For all you should care is that i.e. Sony's players (or DVD Consortium's standards) should have been expanded to include newest codec technologies. There isn't any need for *any* containers nowadays - the players have already "smart" enough mini operating systems to include capabilities of playing back same filename files simultaenously and allowing users to switch them on the fly, they don't have to be in any container at all.
. all it takes is i.e.
SameMovie.AC3.audiostream1
SameMovie_AC3_audiostream2
SameMovie.audiostream3.AC3
. should be playable with
SameMovie.videostream1
SameMovie_videostream2.avi
SameMovie.chapters
. with any of
SameMovie.subtitle1.sub
SameMovie.subtitle2.txt
SameMovie_subtitle
etc
(expand for whatever you wish should be there, there is not even any need for file extensions - although itt could lead to some idiots trying to play 2 videostreams at once and such But they'd learn rather quick not to do so...)

If BD or HD (or whatever is next) players could do that (as many current standalone dvd-video mpeg-4 capable players more-less can) why on earth anyone would need ANY containers at all?
Divx Networks can kiss my ass, same as matroska.
I want players to do this simple job of playing various streams simultaneously, I don't need some stupid crooks or Russian talents to define for us what we can and what we can't use within their "certifications" or their "container" limits, thank you very much (and so should you if you even understand such container-less concept)
