DVP642 Dual audio .AVI

[setarip_old]

As an experiment, I created a DivX-compressed .AVI containing both .AC3 (default) and .MP3 (secondary) audiostreams and burned to DVD.

The burned DVD played properly under Windows Media Player - and I was able to successfully switch back and forth between the two audiostreams at will.

However, when I played the burned DVD on my Philips DVP642/37, I could only successfully switch once, from .AC3 to .MP3. If I then switched back to the .AC3 audiostream, all I heard was a series of clicks. I could however, then successfully switch back to the .MP3 audiostream.

Any ideas as to why the .AC3 stream does not behave properly after the first switch?

I reported the same problem on my DVP630/05 last year. You have to stop and re-start playing to hear the AC3 audio track again. Must be a bug in the firmware. If I remember correctly this problem doesn't occur if both tracks are AC3.

That's correct. I've created a few DVds with .AVIs with three .AC3 audiostreams - and ther's no problem switching amongst them as many times as I please...
