Hello, From the post on DVD subtitle extraction, there is a reference to a program that can do this (in Windows, not Linux) at easydivx.does.it It would be nice if Xine could handle divx subtitle files. One question-- I am having trouble getting Xine to work with AVI files of multiple audio streams. It seems that no matter which audio stream I select on the gui (or using -a), the audio is always the same, and it is always English. I know that there is a second French stream however. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it correctly implemented or a bug? Works fine with VOB files, just with my AVI files there is a problem. I am currently way back on version 0.3.7, and will upgrade if it will help. (The only reason I don't really want to is that the picture seems to be much jerkier now with the later versions on my memory-robbed S3 Virge DX -- there are little hops about a half second into the future occasionally-- it looks to me that some memory may be being overwritten at an inopportune time).

Could I have a test stream that has this feature? Perhaps you could just split the first 10-100mb or so from one of the streams you're trying to use with xine and make it available on some www/ftp server for me to download? Cheers, Guenter -- time is a funny concept |

Hi Guenter, I unfortunately deleted my multi-stream files. I'll try to make some more and put on a webpage for you, but it may take a little while. Actually, at the moment there are very few players able to handle them (MicroDVD is the only one I know of). It is able to handle two forms. First, there is just a normal AVI file with interplexed video and primary audio. Then there is a secondary audio track in a separate file (without any video). Then, the player can play the secondary track with the video, even though the audio comes from a different source. It seems to me that it would be more difficult to keep sync, but with MicroDVD I don't notice any problem. The second way is the way I thought xine might have been able to handle. Both audio streams are interplexed with the video. Most players (like Windows Media Player or Real Player) cannot separate the streams and merely play both tracks simultaneously. Xine was just playing one of them, so I thought maybe it wouldn't be difficult to switch to the other. If you have a Windows machine then you might go to www.tiasoft.de and download MicroDVD. In the documentation (after downloading) there is information about how the files are constructed. I imagine that when bandwidth becomes cheaper multilanguage AVI movies will be exchanged like MP3's are now, since not everyone prefers to watch movies in English. But since this isn't really happening yet, maybe this can be more of a longer-term goal for xine if it's difficult to implement.

Dear all, AFAIK xine doesn't support multi-angle yet right? I've got a concert dvd, with a few tracks with multi-angle. I select that track in the xine playlist, and then play the track, it will play that track 3 times, each time with different angles... This is how dvd multi-angle works? Repeating the track with different angles data? I'm just wondering... Pigeon. |

Multi-angles work by interleaving little parts of video, so one would get a second from one angle, a second from another, a second from the third and then repeat. All in all it looks really bad. Multi-angle support will have to wait until DVD navigation works (or someone adapts the DVD plugin to read the multi-angle stuff from the information field of the DVD).
