Hi, I have been trying to play this mkv file which has 2 audio streams, both are ogg Vorbis as indicated in VirtualDubMod. I am using Core Media player, but I am unable to see any subtitles. I try switching between the two subs streams and nothing occurs. I am able to switch between audio streams. Can anyone suggest a different player that will let me cycle through subs? I dont really care for the second audio and sub stream, so I tried to demux every stream using MKVextractGUI, then just muxing the desired streams with MKVmerge GUI and I still cannot see the subs. I know of an annoying walk around, I can extract the all streams, convert the audio to mp3 so its compatible with avi, mux them in VDM then name the resulting avi file "video.avi" and the subs as "video.srt", this way I can play it. But this seems too long and complicated. Any suggestions?
hey celtic_d thanks for the suggestion. Although it won't allow me to switch between subtitle streams, the player is great. Maybe the mkv file is currupt in some way. I can see the subtitle streams in MKVinfo GUI. Here is what the tool tells me: ******************************************************************* (MKVInfo) |+ EbmlVoid (size: 2946) at 25738 (MKVInfo) |+ Segment tracks at 28687 (MKVInfo) | + A track at 28699 (MKVInfo) | + Track number: 1 at 28701 (MKVInfo) | + Track UID: 3018418130 at 28704 (MKVInfo) | + Track type: video at 28711 (MKVInfo) | + MinCache: 1 at 28714 (MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: V_MS/VFW/FOURCC at 28718 (MKVInfo) | + CodecPrivate, length 40 (FourCC: XVID, 0x44495658) at 28735 (MKVInfo) | + Lacing flag: 0 at 28778 (MKVInfo) | + Default duration: 33.367ms (29.970 fps for a video track) at 28781 (MKVInfo) | + Video track at 28789 (MKVInfo) | + Pixel width: 720 at 28791 (MKVInfo) | + Pixel height: 384 at 28795 (MKVInfo) | + Display width: 720 at 28799 (MKVInfo) | + Display height: 384 at 28804 (MKVInfo) | + A track at 28809 (MKVInfo) | + Track number: 2 at 28811 (MKVInfo) | + Track UID: 871917552 at 28814 (MKVInfo) | + Track type: subtitles at 28821 (MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: S_TEXT/UTF8 at 28824 (MKVInfo) | + Lacing flag: 0 at 28837 (MKVInfo) | + A track at 28840 (MKVInfo) | + Track number: 3 at 28842 (MKVInfo) | + Track UID: 2006511409 at 28845 (MKVInfo) | + Track type: subtitles at 28852 (MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: S_TEXT/UTF8 at 28855 (MKVInfo) | + Lacing flag: 0 at 28868 (MKVInfo) | + Default flag: 0 at 28871 (MKVInfo) | + A track at 28874 (MKVInfo) | + Track number: 4 at 28877 (MKVInfo) | + Track UID: 598624092 at 28880 (MKVInfo) | + Track type: audio at 28887 (MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: A_VORBIS at 28890 (MKVInfo) | + CodecPrivate, length 3977 at 28900 (MKVInfo) | + Audio track at 32881 (MKVInfo) | + Sampling frequency: 48000.000000 at 32883 (MKVInfo) | + Channels: 2 at 32889 (MKVInfo) | + A track at 32892 (MKVInfo) | + Track number: 5 at 32895 (MKVInfo) | + Track UID: 4083541706 at 32898 (MKVInfo) | + Track type: audio at 32905 (MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: A_VORBIS at 32908 (MKVInfo) | + Language: jpn at 32918 (MKVInfo) | + Default flag: 0 at 32925 (MKVInfo) | + CodecPrivate, length 3977 at 32928 (MKVInfo) | + Audio track at 36909 (MKVInfo) | + Sampling frequency: 48000.000000 at 36911 (MKVInfo) | + Channels: 2 at 36917 (MKVInfo) |+ Cluster at 36920 ******************************************************************* I can maybe, demux what i want and rebuild the mkv with only one subtitle and one audio stream. If I opt out for this route, is there any specific procedure to follow using MKVMerge GUI? Thanks * I forgot to mention that the Haali's Video Renderer is greyed out. I obtained playback with both VMR7/9 (renderless) but no subs. I do have the Matroska Pack installed, with Haali's Media Splitter. Maybe the subs dont use the splitter?
