Multiple Audio Tracks

[Jerethi]

I'm not sure if this is possible... but I was wondering, is it possible to have more than one audio track in an avi file? For example, is it possible to have both the regular audio track and a director's commentary muxed into an avi file, and can you select which track you want from within media player?

Many thanks!

use nandub to mux both soundtracks with the avi

use bsplayer to play

So there's no way that windows media player can play more than one audio track?

Why not give bsplayer a try? ;)

For the latest version 0.85.488 and the 0.85.490 update:

WMP can switch between two soundtracks with Morgan Stream Switcher, it is somewhere in the download section.

I have been trying different varieties recently and found that if one track is AC3 and the other is mp3, then WMP only decodes the first track correctly and scrambles the second, while BSplayer manages to switch between AC3 and mp3 decoding.
For me, however, BSplayer runs out of sync with VBR and ABR mp3, so if the first audio track is AC3, then you might have to use cbr mp3 for the second.

As soon as both audio tracks are in the same format (both AC3 or both mp3), there are no problems at all.
