Setting default audio track with TsmuxeR

[bruce73]

I have a re-encoded BR (movie only) that has one DTS-HD and two AC3 tracks. When I start it up in TMT5 it defaults to one of the AC3 tracks. I checked with TsmuxeR and DTS-HD is listed as the first audio track. I remuxed it anyway to get rid of the foreign language subs, and it still defaults to the AC3 track. My understanding is that whichever track is first in the list is the default. Is there something else I need to set? Or is this an issue with TMT?

Dunno about TMT5, I'm still using TME.

In case it's just a matter of setting the default audio stream and not a foible of TMT, you could do this with BDEdit:

1) Make a copy of your entire Blu-Ray folder somewhere on your computer. This copy is for editing, keep the original just in case you make a mistake. You may eventually get confident enough to skip this step. Also in BDEdit's "Options" you can enable backups and specify a folder to put the backups in. I think there's less chance for confusion/mistakes if you just work on a copy to start with.

2) Open the (copied) folder in BDEdit. Click the BDMV tab. Click "Read".

3) On the right side there are two fields. Click the "+" next to the lower field; this creates a new line for the command you're going to add. If the new line is not already highlighted, do so by clicking on it now. On the three drop-down boxes at the bottom left of the field, do the following, starting from left to right: "Set" for the first box, "Set System" for the second one, and "Set Stream" for the third. In that order.

4) There are to the right of the three set boxes two more drop-down boxes, stacked one on top of the other. Set both to "Imm".

5) Okay, there are two boxes to the right of the last two which specify the exact command. The bottom one should be a zero. The top one is where you set the stream for "ON". Which leads us to:

6) For turning on a subtitle, the values are from 49153 for the first subtitle stream, 49154 for the second subtitle stream, and so on. If you only have one it's easy, enter "49153". (Make sure the two stacked check boxes all the way to the right are ticked.) Save and exit.

7) For turning on a specific audio stream (making it the default) the procedure is the same, the values starting at 80010000 for the first stream, 80020000 for the second, and so on. Each command requires its own new line, BTW.

That's it. See if that does the trick. Good luck.

Many, many thanks. I'm saving this for reference. I'll give it a go.

Here's what it should look like:
