There have been several film video files I have downloaded that come with two different audio tracks. My conversion programs are Procoder (old and new) and TMPGEnc 3 Express, which I use to convert avi onto mpeg2 files, which I later convert to VOB. The problem is that TMPGEnc Xpress and the old Procoder do not accept these files: Procoder crashes and TMPGEnc does not "see" the audio files. Procoder 2 does open the file, but sees only one audio file. On another file I had this problem, I could extract the audio stream using VirtualDubMod, but it didn't work this time. How should proceed? What options do I have?
use a Program Called "AVI-Mux" to De-Mux the 2 seperate audio Streams and then encode the AVI Video to Mpeg-2 and then you will have to use a DVD Authoring Program that Supports Multiple audio Tracks Like "DVDLab Pro" and you Just author the DVD...... Not very Hard
Hi I'm not sure if this is what you did but in Virtualdubmod you can load the file then go to streams and doubleclick on the audio that you don't want and then resave the avi and it will have only 1 audio
You should probably demux and re-encode the audio yourself. Plenty of the "one click" solutions, and even more advanced apps, have less than stellar audio converting ability.
I do think the way out is demuxing the avi file, and I did try that with VirtualDubMod. The program identifies two audio streams and isolates them as wav files, but SoundForge, which I always use to adjust levels and else, can't read them. To check on that I demuxed the two wav files on this film and demuxed another avi file, getting another wav file. The resultant files from the first film can't be read but the second can. So I think it might be something on the codec that is causing this. I will try Avi-mux-gui if I can get it, and see if it does the job.
