Encoded with two audio streams, playback shows only one

[wolf23b]

Hi there,

hope this question hasnt been asked yet, at least i could find nothing using the search. Sorry if i missed it.

I bought a DVD series lately and wish to watch it on my notebook when travelling. The mpeg-2 uses way too much disk space, so i converted it to XVid (mp3 for audio). As i dont know much about encoding, i used AutoGK to do it.

I've chosen two audio stream to be encoded (language1 and language2). According to the AutoGK logfiles, they were both encoded without errors.

The problem is: when i play the encoded file, picture is great. I can also hear language1. But i cant find a way to tell my video player to select the second language in playback. This happens both with zoom player (old version & newest version) as well as with the windows media player.
Zoom player's "stream selection" menu only offers me "Audio track 1", as if there was no other one. I know it's there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

1) Try playing it using the "VLC" player (formerly "VideoLan" player) - see if it reflects the existence of two audiostreams (under the "Audio" tab)

2) Try installing the "Morgan Stream Switcher"

Thanks a lot!

I started with the Morgan Stream Switcher, hoping that i can use my beloved zoom player still. Didnt work, that switcher seems to have no effect at all in regards to my problem.

Installed the VLC player then, that one is recognizing the second audio track and plays it just fine!

So the most severe problem is solved - if anyone has an idea how i can teach my zoom player to do that as well, any help is appreciated.

Thanks again and greetings,
Wolf

Glad to hear you now have at least one way to playback your creation ;>}
