MKV, multiple audio tracks simultaneously?

Postby Ux64 » 28 May 2009 07:14

Hi.

I have MKV file where is separate sound effect track and separate audio (speech) track. I can't get VLC to play it correctly. I only get sound effect track without speech. For some reason I can't even select speech or effect track. Now VLC allows only effect track to be played.

Has anyone encountered this problem earlier and is there any fix? I'm using 1.0 pre release.

Code: Select all

Tech info Video Codec: h264 ,AVC-1 Audio Codec: AC3 Audio BitRate: 384 kbps Audio Streams: 2.0
P.S. For technical testing purposes I can provide that file.

Now I got two MKV files which both lack Speech track and that problem only exists when playing with VLC.

It seems that VLC doesn't handle audio tracks correctly?
