Question on Video files with Dual Audio

[Gig-O-Ram]

A question from my wife:

"I was sent some TV episodes that are in DIVX format and contain 'Dual Audio' (Hungarian/English in mp3). I cannot get the English audio to play. I've opened the file in DIVX player, Power DVD and Windows Media Player. I've gone into the audio menus of each and selected English, but it still plays in Hungarian. I read online that there is a program called 'VirtualDubMod' that is supposed to let you remove the unwanted audio track. I downloaded this program (last update was 2006), but it won't run, because it say's it's missing 'Corona.dll' Is there some other way I can play this file, or some way I can get the English to play?"


Any help on this would be great guys - she's really frustrated with this. I looked at the VirtualDubMod thing, and another player she found called BS Player (and so far, it seems to be BS, LOL!) and in both cases I am unable to figure out how to get the audio switched. On both Players, some of the audio options are disabled for some reason, so that right there is part of the problem.

Thanks.

First thought is you can try downloading and installing the CORONA.DLL file, that may get things going.

Next, this seems to be an interesting read and possible solution as to setting the default audio:

Dual or Multi Audio AVI with subtitles (MPEG4 XviD DivX) - VideoHelp.com

Just download VLC. It plays pretty much any file type without codecs and has full multi-audio support, subtitle support, and all sorts of other features, in a lightweight package. Just play the file in VLC, right click the video, click Audio->audio Track-> English. Done.

or use Media Player Classic HC and select the filters for what audio/subtitle

I downloaded VLC, and it works to play the English audio - and I noticed the "Convert/Save" option, and I was looking around at how to do that, but I'm unclear how to do it. She wants to resave the file with the English audio only. Do you know how to do that?

you'd need to use virtualdub and re-encode the video with just the eng track

That was part of the original issue - virtualdub didn't work because it was missing a .dll file (Corona.dll). But VLC seems to at least open the options for either audio track, so we can get the english. Now we just need to see if there's a way to redo the original file with only the english track. I'm gonna make a copy of one of the files, and play with the Convert/Save utility and see what happens.
