DVDs - Can't turn commentary off
« on: July 31, 2019, 12:44:00 am »

Hi,
MC23. Long-running issue; is there no way to turn audio commentary off when playing DVDs? There is no way to select audio stream. Have tried everything. I turn it off in DVD menu, nothing happens.
Thanks-

Well, a lot has happened since MC23.

Try playing the video, right-clicking on the screen, select "Streams", then pick different audio streams until you find the correct one. MC will remember what you selected for future playback.

At least I think that capability existed in MC23. Upgrade. It will do you good.

Thanks, but, there's no such thing under the right-click menu; looks exactly the same as 23. No "Streams," no way of choosing.

This cannot be an isolated thing; it must be common.

Hmm, you may be on to something.

Normally if there is more than one audio stream in a file, the "Streams" item shows up on the right-click menu. But maybe DVDs are a bit different. Particularly Audio Commentary tracks.

I just tried to turn Audio Commentary on for a couple of ripped DVDs I have, and it wouldn't turn on. There wasn't a "Streams" item in the right-click menu either. The DVD I tested with definitely has multiple audio tracks.

I don't have time to look into that at the moment. Perhaps a search of the forum would reveal something?

Thanks, I searched every which way; I can't find anything. Seems a major oversight-

In Theater View, use the On Screen Display.
