    Hi all,

    Hmm a bit log winded this, but I hope you can help me.

    Right, I have a .avi file that is dual audio. ITA/ENG. When I play the file through VLC player the file immediately plays the Italian audio. I have to switch to English. Is there any way that I can reverse this so English is the prodimanant audio track before going onto disc. Plus, when I burn a multi-language file to disc, the languages are not named as I flick through them on playback, so is there anyway that I can name them before burning to disc. I use ConvertXtoDVD for burning, by the way.

    There are two ways that I know to change the default audio in the file.
    The simple way is to load/drag the video into VirtualDubMod - answer 'No' to any popup messages about VBR audio.
    Click 'Streams' >'Stream list'
    Move the second listed stream 'Up' and 'OK'.
    Click 'Video' > 'Direct stream Copy'.
    Click 'File' > 'Save as' and opt to save it as an avi file.

    Test with VLC.

    The other way, uses AviMux.
    Either audio stream can be designated 'Default' - and you can assign the language name (which will be listed in VLC on playback) - however the output has to be saved as .mkv
