I believe the default for the movie is English subtitles, since the movie is in aramaic, and chances are most folks will want some sort of subtitling

[Kool_Aid]

Dolby 2.0 track is hearing impared English.

Dolby 5.1 track is Aramaic only.....no English track.

So it has English audio ?

[Kool_Aid]

It's english audio, but it's more like vision impaired.

Someone is describing for you what's going on, on the screen, and someone other than the actors are speaking the actors lines, in english.

[NiteLite]

It's a narrative track. Nothing else.
You can choose to read the subs or have someone to narrate the story to you. Or if you understand Latin, Enjoy

[too-cool]

Copy Both the 5.1 Latin and the 2ch English, that way you get the hearing impaired and subtitles. Btw it a pretty good movie. Too-cool

[dmb23]

I do not want hearing impaired to play with the movie. i backed it up and my back will only play with hearing imparies playing , how do i get rid of that. it will not changes usng the dvd ment selections

You cannot "get rid" of that from the backup as you have it now because the backup is wrong.
From what you said I assume that you simply did not include the non-English audio which is the "normal" audio meant for this film.

So, back-up again. When you come to the DVDShrink stage simply select the first 5.1 track (and only that if you do not need the hearing impaired track).
DO NOT burn directly to DVD-R from Shrink (if this is what you usually do). Instead ouput the shrunk files to the HD and check the film using any software DVD player just to make sure you got the track needed. Then burn.

This is why I never burn from Shrink. Sure it's an extra 2 steps (check then burn) but it does save DVD-R's.

The primary 5.1 track is called "Latin" by the ifo file. The narration track is #2 and 2.0. Since the primary is "Latin" a DVD player will default to track #2 "English". Your DVD is no doubt set to English so it plays track #2 by default. Use IFOEDIT and change the Latin track to English,that way the normal 5.1 track will become the default.

[dmb23]

I will try again and will leave all audio formats checked. I let you knwo how it goes an an hour or so

[dmb23]

how do u do that with ifoedit ?

[wulf109]

Open the movie ifo in IFOEDIT. The streams will be listed. Double-click the 5.1 Latin stream. A box will open. There is a drop down box to select language. Change it to English. Click O.K. Click the save button at the bottom of the IFOEDIT window. Then click O.K. Close IFOEDIT and re-open the ifo file,it now should say English not Latin.

[cor1]

In IFOEdit you should see something like this in the VTS overview:
(text below is NOT from the actual film)

Title Set (Movie) attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (not specified perm.display)
Audio 1:......Latin............(Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC...(ID: 0x80)
Audio 2:......English...........(Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC...(ID: 0x81)
SubPicture 1: English............(2-bit rle ) (ID: 0x20)
SubPicture 2: Español............(2-bit rle ) (ID: 0x21)

You want to change it to look like this:

Title Set (Movie) attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (not specified perm.display)
Audio 1:......English...........(Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC...(ID: 0x80)
Audio 2:......English............(Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC...(ID: 0x81)
SubPicture 1: Español............(2-bit rle ) (ID: 0x20)
SubPicture 2: English............(2-bit rle ) (ID: 0x21)

To toggle the language name, *Edit* Go to your video attributes in your VTS overview and change the Latin label to English.

I'm not at my home PC right now so I can't verify this as I type, but try to right-click or to double-click on the row with the Latin label and you should see a pop-up menu. Edit should be there. You will then see a dialog box with (among other things) a drop-down list of language labels. Change ONLY that! Don't forget to save the IFO file.

As usual, before burning TEST TEST TEST.

EDIT:
Oops! Sorry for interfering wulf109, I did not see your post.

aramaic is not latin .. guess latin was picked out of a hat to use to name the track .. as aramaic is much much closer to Hebrew ..


Aramaic is one of the Semitic languages, an important group of languages known almost from the beginning of human history and including also Arabic, Hebrew, Ethiopic, and Akkadian (ancient Babylonian and Assyrian). It is particularly closely related to Hebrew, and was written in a variety of alphabetic scripts. (What is usually called "Hebrew" script is actually an Aramaic script.).


latin is a different branch of the tree ...

[scpals]

Ok,let me get this right.

I do exactly WHAT to have the printed captions BUT NOT the narration?



Thanks

[cor1]

scpals,

The question in the thread referred to the sound track problem brought about by the fact that most DVD players are set up to "choose" a language (in this case English) if there is a choice on a DVD. My answer was specific to that problem and the example IFOEdit text I gave was just that, an example, as I do not have that DVD.
If by "narration" you refer to the English soundtrack then the thread (and the example) was not about removing it but about fooling the DVD player in "thinking" that the first soundtrack (i suppose it's Aramaic labeled as Latin from what I read) is in fact English so the DVD player will choose it.
If by "Printed captions" you refer to some subtitles then I don't see how they dissapear.

Anyway, the problem is not exactly the same as the original one of that thread. It may be referring to the same DVD but you are trying to do something different.

I suggest that you create a new thread because I think the question is different enough to deserve it and some other people may learn from an eventual answer. A PM answer only benefits the PM recipient while a public question-answer session on the forum will benefit all.

But the most important thing is for you to supply information about what you've already tried to do as well as what you are trying to achieve. This has to be detailed enough to allow people to know how they can help.

I may or may not be able to provide the answer once I see your info.
But if I cannot rest assured there are hundreds (thousands?) of people more knowledgeable than me on this forum and one WILL answer you.

Sorry for not being able to provide more immediate help.
