second audio question

[gomezdegomera]

I encoded a divx with a second language on a separated .mp3 file.
On the hard disk all was good.
When copied on CD I noticed read difficulties on my Asus 40x UDMA. The problem derived from the
access to the avi and to the mp3 at the same time.
I guess if there are some reasons not to make a unique avi with two language, instead?
I noticed nandub can do that.
Ther bitrate overhead shouldn't be influent, I think.
What do you think?

Hello,

that's a good idea, follow doom9's guide and you'll get a fine dual-language AVI. You can switch audio tracks while watching - very cool. (Use ZoomPlayer or BSPlayer, not Windows Media Player which is not capable of viewing these kind of AVIs without playing both audio tracks at once unless you do a workaround with Graphedit).

I use MicroDVD. Does it support dual audio avi?

[fileman]

sorry, don't know that, never used MicroDVD...

MicroDVD Player does not support dual audio avis because this player is based on WMP6.4. You can however use the already mentioned graphedit trick.

Since you mentioned MicroDVD and the GraphEdit trick (I suppose it's the alternative method described in the MDVDP html documentation), do you know if this method works with 2 CD movies?

All works perfectly, with 2÷3 CDs. I always use this method when I do two audio streams in my .avi
I have only to make MicroDVD's .ini fail and then enjoy movie. Before burning CD it is very necessary to test how all works on harddrive.

The graph edit method works very well.
To obtain the 2 audio avi file it is possible to use nandub, however,
and then it is necessary graphedit.

Going back to your original question, have you enabled the MDVDP setting to copy the secondary audio mp3 files to the HD, when you switch language? With this option on, I never experienced any time lag, since video is read from the CD drive and audio from the hard disk.

[gomezdegomera]

I didn't know about this option. What do I have to do in the .ini?

[sibe]

It's not in the .ini file. You have to go to the audio section of the configuration dialog.
