Director's Commentry blocks movie

[daveiosys]

Several movies I have attempted to copy:
1.) Hide and Seek
2.) Guess Who
3.) XXX-State of the Union
have director's comments over top of film audio track.
Thus am not able to watch movie.
Using latest versions of Slysoft AnyDVD and CloneDVD.
Have AMD processor, 1024 RAM, over 300 gig hard drive space.
Windows XP-SP2.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanx...

have you deleted any of the other audio streams?

in my experience most/all of directors commentaries have them speaking over the top of the films audio track - effectively using it as a background track.

there is always a seperate audio stream which contains the movies audio track without any commentary, which will play by default when you play the movie.

so my guess is youhave removed the default audio streams and these 'one click' tools have remapped the streams so that the directors commentary is now the default stream.

As the post above correctly explains, there are two likely possibilities here.

Possibility 1- You changed your software settings, so now some of your backups have the wrong "audio" as the "default" one. This is no biggie, the solution is to grab the remote control on your DVD player, and find the button that says "AUDIO," and check to see what other audio choices are available, and then choose the one that does NOT have the commentary.
IF you are bothered by the wrong audio track starting up automatically, you can of course start all over, and re-do both the rip and the burn, from scratch.

Possibility 2 - It is also possible (but less likely) that you chose to get rid of some of the audio choices when you created these few DVDs, and you managed to get rid of the "wrong ones." In other words, you chose to delete the "typical" soundtrack (accidentally), and left only one soundtrack on the burned version -- the one with the director's commentary. I have seen cases where a DVD had five and six and seven different audio tracks, so this can be confusing at times, if you are trying to save space and eliminate some of them. The solution here is similar to the one above. Grab the remote control on your DVD player, and find the button that says "AUDIO," and check to see what other audio choices are available, and if you see no other soundtrack choices are on that disc, then you have no other choice but to get out your original, and start over from scratch.
