DVD Shrink 2.3 - Changing Default Audio

DVD Maniac · 29th July 2003, 19:21

I really like using this app when I want strip out streams due to the clever way in which it leaves dummy entries for the stripped out streams. This ensures that Menus still work properly without the need for some time with Menu edit (which is not always a 100% fix). Its great when you have Directors commentary streams which I usually keep.

The snag is when you remove the Default audio stream you get no sound (obviously!) and have to manually tell the player to play the stream that was not removed. This happens a lot with movies which have both ac3 and DTS streams, usually the ac3 is the first/default stream. As I have a DTS decoder I don't need both - all I want is the DTS stream and eliminate the option to choose the ac3 via Menu edit. Then I have to do the manual selection as described before.

Is there a way of altering the .ifo in such a way that the Default stream is corrected to reflect your remaining main audio stream?

This is also a suggested fix for the next version!

Thanks! I'll try these

BTW - Nero Recode (aka DVDShrink 2.4!) looks to have cracked this automatically! I still need to try with other Titles but looks good
