INFO about BivX

Post by Guest »   0 likes

They are rare, but they exist, movies with two soundtracks.

If you want to read a BivX on your PC use the Freeware VLC for instance (just have to choose track 1 or 2 in audio)
If your DVD/DviX reader can't read (test ->http://divxtest.surdvd.com/resultats.php3) --> delete one audio track Virtualdubmod (freeware too) can help you or simply convert to DVD with ConvertXtoDVD (present on the site)

1. Open virtualdubmod
2. Load avi
3. Under streams, click onto streams list (its the first one)
4. Disable the stream that’s non English ( With me French=1 & English=2)
5. Move the stream that you wish to use up in position.
6. Hit OK
7. Have video set to direct stream copy
8. Save avi as.....OK :)

On a mac - just open with Quicktime and check/uncheck the language as desired.

QuickTime Player --> Window --> Show Movie Properties

Thanks for the info willow! It may save someone who runs into this problem time and trouble, they may otherwise just think it's a corrupted file.

On some of my rips I thought the director's commentary track was interesting enough that I included it as a second track. (Or third, if there were two commentary tracks). I admit since I use VLC it never occurred to me that dual-soundtrack .AVIs could make it unplayable.
