More than 2 audio streams in AutoGK?

[ejp]

I did a quick search for the issue. Couldn't find anything too helpful.

AutoGK can include 2 audio streams. Is there a way to do a 3rd or more than that?

The manual process I'm using now to do it is by encoding the video with 2 audio streams into one large AVI. Afterwards, I mux the 3rd audio stream, then use VDubMod to cut into 700MB AVIs. The problems I get a lot of the time is, I have to lower the target filesize in AutoGK a few MBs because once I MUX the 3rd audio stream, it's a few MBs too large than the 700MB interval (ex: 1405MB or 2106MB).

So the cut files don't come out nice and even, and I eventually have to cut off a few keyframes from the end of the movie.

Anything else I can do to make the process easier? Perhaps an upgrade in AutoGK? Thanks.

Ogg media (.ogm) isn't being used too often anymore, but I've experimented a bit with OggMux, and it will let you mux at least three language tracks easily. You do have to adjust the output to allow for the additional audio, but it's not that hard if you can work a calculator. I ran a couple of tests using GordianKnot and it didn't take me more than a few minutes to get it right.

It's limited to two tracks I think because this is easier to use, at least this is the reason why I have this limitation in my application. Please remember that ease of use is a primary design goal in AutoGK so don't expect anything advanced that don't match with the ease of use requirement.

MeGUI also has the two track limitation, for the reasons stax mentioned. At some point, we're only talking about legal backups, and that means you have the original disc stashed away somewhere, so if you need some esoteric language (how many people fluently speak more than two languages anyway? I do that for 4 but that only means I'm considerably above the national average.. most people barely speak one foreign language even though they should learn at least two in school), or the director's commentary (how many times do you watch a movie with that? I have watched plenty of movies with commentary, I suppose definitely a lot more than the average DVD buyer - but watching it like that twice wouldn't cross my mind), you can always use the original disc, can't you? And if you accidentally "lost" the disc, a study in copyright law might be more productive ;)

a while back I did a survey here: http://www.autogk.me.uk/index.php?name=Surveys&pollID=10
results are quite interesting...

Can't imagine a reason why anyone would vote NO! Maybe they didn't understant the poll question properly? :confused:

I'll admit there have been very few times where a third audio track would have been neccessary, i. e. The Chronicles of Riddick which actually has two commentary tracks. Even so, I seriously doubt I'll ever watch it with either commentary. I would've voted "no", and I'm surprised so many voted "yes."

I use Gordian Knot to add more than 2 audio files so I voted Yes. I like to be reminded about how they did "that" in a movie so I like to have all Director's Commentaries with the movie. Some times I like to switch to hear about what I've forgotten. Lord Of The Rings S.E.'s were fun to encode!!! Oh man...thank goodness most movies don't have that many commentaries, haha. AutoGK is nice just the same but once you figure it out in GK the Files box becomes handy.

It's all about what your preferences are and what you're into I guess. An unlimited number of audio (AC3/DTS) choices would be nice but I GUESS (haha) I could do with at the max, 4 vs 2. Then again, it is up to the progammer.

My .02 cents anyway.
