Problem with audio streams

[killerjohn]

Hi all!

(sorry for my bad english....)

I've a movie with 2 audio streams:

1. Hungarian MP3
2. English AC3

but in the Audio menu, all options are disabled, except Equalizer...

I'm using DivX 6 Pro, and I tried switching audio streams with the DivX Setting Manager, but there are no audio output when Audio Track 2 is selected :(

I think everything is OK with my system, everything works fine - except this one.

:( :( :(

Check under (rightclick >) Options > Filters > Advanced (with a movie file loaded). What is shown there with respect to audio?
Do you use AC3filter? If yes: which version?

[killerjohn]

Under Options there are only a Filter management menu


In other case I can play simple avis with single AC3 sound track.... :?




Under "Filter manager" I've found

"Filter management" menu is shown under Options > Preferences, but I mentioned Options > Filters (> Advanced).
Maybe a newer version of AC3filter? (I personally still use the old 0.70b version, so I've no experience with v.1.0+.) Check the link AC3Filter v1.0+ under item (4) of my Help2Help-post.

PS:
At the Free-codecs AC3Filter-page (the link in my post will bring you there) there is an "Important Note" reading: There is a bug in the AC3 Filter 0.70b (and perhaps later versions) that prevents it from working well with Media Files that contain multiple AC3 Audio Tracks. Installing AC3 Filter 0.7b FIX will solve the problem (this fix doesn't contain all files, install standard version first!)

Under Options -> Filters I've found this:

SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [E00]
MPEG Layer-3 Decoder
DivX Decoder Filter
DivX Demux

What can I do? How can I remove that filter? :oops:

[Tizio]

Maybe you can add it to BSplayer Blacklist filters' list (CTRL+P -> Filters management -> Blacklist).
Or you can try to unregister DivXMedia.ax filter.

If those options don't work, since I never installed DivX6 and I don't know if there's an option to disable DivX Demuxer within DivX configuration window, I suggest you to install DivX v5.2.1.
Probably J7N will suggest you to not install DivX Networks software... Probably FFDShow instead.
At you the choice

[killerjohn]

Thank you very much.....

What/who is J7N ?

I need Dix6, because I'm compressing with it.

[Tizio]

Have you fixed your problem?

J7N is the guy that replied you before in this post (the one with the following avatar)

That's right. LOL. But ffdshow is not for demuxing. If you could tell me the file format (or at least the file extension), I could suggest a demuxer.

I see my avatar gets lots of atention. Strange… :)

If those are your files you're talking about, then the first question would be: Have I made them properly, not Is BSplayer treating them right. I suggest you use either XVID (lower requirements, h/w support) or X264 (better quality, slower).

[killerjohn]

These files are StarGate DVD "backups". I don't know who made the rip. VirtualDubMod shows that there are two audio tracks (one MP3, and one AC3).

[J7N]

Stargate is good. But the file format...

If VirtualDubMod opens it then it must be either Ogg, Matroska or AVI. I say get rid of that DivX Demuxer. If it is an Ogg file, you install OggDS, if it is a Matroska file – Gabest's Matroska Splitter, AVI – install nothing and use M$ default splitter.
