Playing only one audio channel on DUAL language DVD-rips?
« on: May 24, 2005, 04:57:56 pm »

Hi,

Some movie players like videolan let your choose which audio track you want to listen (be it director commentary, or various languages). I can't find that option in Media Center. I wish i could organize my DVD-rip collection like my music, but i always have to go back to videolan to play dual language DVD-rips. Someone help?

Thanks

Isn't it possible to use the menu on the DVD to select languages?

Actually, what you mean by "DVD-rips"?

For me it currently means DVDs ripped to DivX & AC3 avi files. I make the language selection at the ripping & conversion stage. Of course that cannot be changed later. It's possible to make container files with several audio streams, but I haven't tried that yet.

Sometimes I have to send video files to an external application for playback (Right-click > Send to external). I can still have them in the MC library.

Yeah, the Morgan Stream Switcher is for that purpose, but I've never used it.  (I only speak English -- the product of the American Public School System, where it's cool to be dumb).
