Directors Commentary - How to Remove

[jah711]

Hello,
I just have one small question concerning Xvid4PSP or Ripbot 264.
I encoded 5 of my own movies...not downloaded movies and turned them into MKV files with everything coming out perfect. But there is one movie..that keeps giving me the same output. The movie plays back with the directors commentary running throughout the whole movie. The actual movie audio is playing but very low.
I did this movie 4 times already and can't figure out how to get rid of that directors audio file. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Can't you select audio track in xvid4psp? Under Audio->.

edit: I see that you are converting from blu-ray/hd-dvd now. How are you preparing the blu-ray for xvid4psp and ripbot264? Using tsmuxer?

[jah711]

Yes I can select audio track in Xvid4PSP but so far each one I chose: 2.0 LC 128, DTS, AC3 had those darn directors speaking.
I just use Ripbot264 along with the necessary programs it has to work with and I did 5 Blu-ray movies to MKV with no problem. 2 of those were done by Xivd4PSP. No tsmuxer at all. But this last movie doing everything the same way as the others with Ripbot and Xvid4PSP, keeps having the directors speaking.

I got it figured out thanks all.

Well why not share it with us,so someone else can benefit from this particular issue....

What I did was demuxed the video only separated from the audio with TSmuxer and used that video file with Ripbot264. All worked well after that.

I have been trying to get rid of the directors commentary on in the name of the king, it seems like every way i try i cant get rid of just the commentary. its either all audio gone or none gone. like an earlier post the commentary is over top of the regular audio. can anyone help with this issue?

Run the ripped BD through tsMuxeR and it generally names the audio tracks. Chose the main movie .m2ts file and the correct audio track and 'Start muxing'. Use this file for your conversion. If you still end up with the directors comments, try a different audio file.

And welcome to our forums.

Yeah I have done that with every audio file and the only way i have been able to hear the movie audio at all is when the 2 channel directors commentary is on it as well. there are five audio files, they are the dts-hd 6 channel, which i have come to understand should be the movie audio, the 2 channel ac3 file ( directors commentary over the movie), and two pgs files. i have removed the 2 channel and got no sound, i have kept it and had commentary, i am lost at what to do next. i used tsmuxer to create a blu-ray disk and i have demuxed the original file to work with them individually, no luck either way.

For example when you play back the m2ts with PDVD it wouldn't play the Master audio DTS-HD/True-HD because it's not supported in "file mode" it's only supported in "disc mode". You'll hear the next available AC3 audio track.

You can downconvert the master audio (DTS-HD/True-HD/lpcm) to AC3 with eac3to for example and mux it back to the video with TSmuxeR and you'll have the sound track you want, but not HD.

i downloaded the program eac3to but i keep getting an error when i try to convert it to ac3 640kbitshould i be checking something else to get it to work right?

[GeeForce11]

I've never got an error. An example:

"eac3to 00000.m2ts 2: 00000.ac3 -640"

In the case when the Master Audio (DTS-HD/True-HD) is track #2 in the m2ts file.

To See the track #s:

"eac3to 00000.m2ts"

nathanbud8:

I had been struggling with this problem all week, but finally I managed to get it.

I used AnyDVD HD to open the disk.

I used tsMuxeR to isolate the large m2ts file and selected only two files: a single hd video file (1920x1080 or something like that…) and the DTS-HD 6 channel audio track. I then created a Blu-ray disk on the hard drive, as it appears you had done. This took 50 minutes to create.

I used Xvid4PSP to load the Blu-ray folders to create an AVI file (xvid codec) with MP3 audio (4 hours to create). The end product was 3.5 GB and had no director’s comments. You should be able to make the file smaller using Xvid4PSP.
