Hi all!
I've finally acquired my first few Blu-Ray audio discs (P.S. they're amazing!), and have begun figuring out how to use MC to manage them. Made particles of my Blu-Ray audio disc. Used Chapterfi to help set the playback range of the particles
So far so good…however:
ODD BEHAVIOR #1: I find it odd that the full disc and track/particle 1 have file types of "mpls" and tracks 2 and up have file types of "bdmv"
ODD BEHAVIOR #2: There were points in the above process where I would "lose" tracks. The entries in the MC database would be there, but the filename of the particle would inexplicably change. Things have seemed to stabilize, but I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem, or if it was simply a matter of my unfamiliarity with the process...
Now I want to convert the 192/4.0 stream to something a little more portable friendly. The tracks have a secondary stream that is 192kHz/stereo, so I’d like to start from that. However, I can’t seem to find a (simple) way to tell the 130+ tracks to use the secondary audio for conversion. I did a little digging in the Interact archives and found the following:
In an MC18-era
thread:
“If a video has multiple audio tracks, the converter will use the audio track currently selected for playback. So to change the track, play, select the track you want, then stop. After that, conversion will use the newly selected audio track.”
In an MC19-era
thread:
“Whatever audio track you have selected for DVD playback is also the audio track that will be used for Convert Video to Audio. Start playback of the DVD, select your stream, and stop playback of the DVD and the stream selected will now be used for conversion.”
Have things advanced in the last 3 years (and versions)? Is there a way to “bulk select” which stream(s) play for these tracks without actually playing the files? I’m not looking forward to navigating through the “Streams” menu to set each track to stereo, then running the conversion, then navigating back to the menu to re-set the default to the 192/4.0 stream.
Thanks for any guidance!
