Depends on the file format, but yes

What might that look like? I've never heard of this before.

Now it depends what the file actually specifies.

Thank you, but what do you mean by "what the file actually specifies"? Is there something in the encoding that indicates whether both tracks should be played together?

I have some mkv files with multiple video and audio tracks (2 and 3, respectively), and VLC seems to have some trouble handling them. First, in the past, if I selected the second video track while the first one was playing, the second track would open up in a separate window so that I could watch bo...

Right now, if a video file has two video tracks and you want to play both of them, the second tracks shows in a separate pop-up window. There seems to be no easy way to show both tracks side-by-side in the same window, at least not without fussing with the mosaic filter. I would like to simply have ...

It's too bad. If we can play two tracks in two windows, I imagine it would be trivial to play two tracks in one window.

What do you mean by a window module? I'd be willing to look into that more.

Also, if VLC just can't do this, are there other media players that can?

I suppose that's one approach, but it seems like overkill. All I really need is something like this:



Is there a simpler way to do it?

When playing a video file with multiple audio tracks, I sometimes like to switch between the tracks while the video is playing. However, when I do so, there's a period of 2 - 3 seconds of silence before the new audio track kicks in. I'd like to transition between tracks seamlessly. Is there a way to...

I have several videos with two video tracks, and I'd like to play both tracks side by side simultaneously. I've discovered that if I open the video file, it will play Track 1. I can then go to Video -> Video Track -> Track 2, which opens up the second track in a second window. This is not ideal. Is ...
