Title: converting VCDs with multilanguages into DVD
Post by: fuzzball on March 30, 2004, 05:11:59 AM
Hi,

I\'m trying to convert some VCDs into DVDs following your guide, everything works beautifully except for the audio. The VCDs I have are in 2audio formats, and when I play the DVD I created both the audios are playing  :shock:  and I cant seem to select just one channel to play  :? . Is there a way so that I can select which channel I want playing?

You you mean that you have 2 audio files?
I have never used a DVD like this before.

No when the file gets split into audio (.mp2) and video (.mv1) I am only left with 1audio file for the 2 languages.. In VCD normally I would be able to select the left or right speaker for the audio (left being english, right being chinese). However with the converted DVD i am unable to select this option anymore and both languages are played together.. when i try to select this option a little display is shown that says \"mpeg2 channel\" but nothing happens..

Is there anything to split the audio again and keep just one language? :?:

Hmmm, nice stuff!

I think that the problem must be that the stereo is being mixed someway, which guide of the two that there are in the site do you use?

I used the longer guide, which incorporates Besweet and BesweetGUI as well as TMPGEncPlus.. When i try to use the other guide which uses TMPGEnc alone, the output file is just way too big! Over 5Gg..

 :( Guess I\'m stuck with VCDs huh?

Maybe it\'s a setting in BeSweet. I have not a VCD like this, but I will try to do a web search. Does the MPEG2 file that you create before you author the DVD work fine?

maybe work ...  try this:

open with vdubmod.
go to the \"streams menu\".
choose the option is \"stream list\" .
then, from this menu, you can save the sound that you choosed!

Jorge, it seems that they are both in the same stream, but the english are in the right speaker and the chinese in the left. So you set which speaker to use (L-R) and you hear the right sound.

Maybe you should just try another program m8, like the other guide with TMPGEnc.

Hi! I am new in here!
I am facing the same problem here! I have got a mpg files which include 2 different languages! If I burn it to a VCD with Nero, I can use the L/R button of my DVD player to change to the Language Channel that I want!
However, when I tried to burn it to a DVD by using the PowerDVD Producer, both of the Languages will be heard simultanously! Actually, I need only one of the Channel! I wonder if there is any method that I can take out one of the Channel during the encoding or whatever I can deal with this problem?
Sorry if I have asked too many questions~~
Thanks in advance!
Paul

when you are authoring the files with tmpgenc dvd author, change the option button for \"stereo\" to \"bilingual\"

that will solve your problem...just keep in mind that it will take longer for your files to be converted to dvd files....(after you click \"begin output\")
