Multiple SVCD sound streams
 

Hi. First of all I want to say thanks for a great player. I have never looked back :P

I'm trying to play back a multi soundtrack SVCD using the Elecard MPEG2 Decoder in BSPlayer. The problem is that BSPlayer automatically picks the second soundtrack, which is directors commentary. Both tracks are listed under properties during playback. Anyone know I can change to track 1 ??

On a sidenote. If anyone can give me a hint on another standalone codec i can install to watch VCD/SVCD's, I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Re: Multiple SVCD sound streams
 

I am afraid you cannot do much about this... I asked the same question @ Zoom Player's forum and Blight told me that the M$ mpeg-2 splitter seems to support only single audio streams :( You can get both audio streams only with a PC soft DVD player and a stand-alone.

My advice would be to get rid of the Elecard codec. Install either PowerDVD XP 4.0 or WinDVD 4.0 (I'm using the latter) and you're ok. Don't install both of them, BSPlayer is working ok, but all the rest players get confused...

(SVCD Multiple Audio Streams with WMP)
I solved this problem by installing Morgan Stream Swicher MSS(get all software you need from here:
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/software.htm). What it does is it switches between multiple audio streams. It works in WMP 6.4 but not in BSPlayer, which either bypasses it or just doesn't give you access to the MSS's properties. So, to watch SVCD with multiple audio streams, do the following:

1. Get Windows Media Player v6.444
2. Install ELECARD MPEG 2 Video Decoder
3. Install Morgan Stream Switcher
4. Start .mpg file from the SVCD.
5. Right-click on Movie Window->Properties->Morgan Stream Switcher
6. Switch audio streams! Voila! :)

I will post a feature request about rendering MMS properties visible in BSPlayer
