MPEG with multiple audio streams

I have a dvd that has one video on it with 4 different audio options. The goal is to recreate the dvd with different menu's etc. I ripped the dvd with MPEG Streamclip. I played the ripped mpeg and it definitely contains all four audio streams. I then imported the mpeg into encore cs4 and it only shows the default audio selection, the other three are gone. I tried importing it into premier and the same thing happened. This seems like it should be pretty easy but maybe not.
Thanks for the help,
Kevin

Kevin,
First, welcome to the forum.
Next, I am shooting blind here, as I have never gone this direction. If none of this works, sorry. I only go the other way, creating what you hope to recreate.
Now, what happens if you rip the Audio in a Multi-track Audio editing program, like Adobe Audition? I would hope that it will rip each Audio stream as a stereo WAV (or as discrete WAV's if you have AC3 DD 5.1 SS). If this does work (remember, no guarantees), you should be able to separate these out, and then Import them into Encore.
I am sure that many other programs can do what Audition does, but that is my go-to Audio editor and know that it works well with both ripping from all sorts of muxed AV files, and will also handle Multi-track material.
Good luck, and please let us know if this works. Also, Neil Wilkes, a valued contributor to this forum, is the "Audio guru," and might well have better suggestions.

Troubles with Multiple Audio Streams.[ca0106]

Hey everyone.
I have a few issues on my hands that i just cannot seem to get a strait foward answer.
First off, i have a Sound Blaster Live! 24bit pci sound card. Sound plays perfect as well as surround sound.
My issue is that i cannot get mulitiple things to play sound at once. All of the correct modules are loaded just fine and working well. I do believe that when i was using gentoo and could play multiple audio streams, i had alsa built into my kernel.... in arch i dont believe i do.
Im trying not to build my kernel all over again in arch because i think its something in arch i may be doing wrong...
Thanks
Anthony

Thanks for the reply.
I know for a fact im using ALSA. Since i made that post, ive been doing as much research as possible. I found on ubuntuforums, some dude posted some configs for his ca0106 sound card. I tried them and they take me to the same fork.
Surround Sound .... or .... Multiple audio streams.
So the big questions is, is it possible to have both? And would compiling a new kernel with ALSA and support for my card make a difference?
Thanks!

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

Issues with multiple audio tracks

Hello everyone. I need some help with my DVD Reel. … Please
I have a DVDSP project that I’ve been using and updating for the last year. It contains over 100 small 4-minute clips (Mpeg-2 Video + AC3 Audio) plus a lot of menus and buttons….
Everything worked nice and perfect… except that I added some surround clips last week (using stories)… so now I have one audio track (A1) with all stereo audio and a second audio track (A2) with my surround audio. Again, no problems until today when I used the same track to add a new clip with stereo audio only (A1)…. And it doesn’t want to playback on DVD Player (but it plays in the simulator)…
…. Now here is the question. Does the additional (surround) audio track have anything to do with this problem or is there any other reason why the stereo clip didn’t want to play after the surround clip? … or Do I need to create stories for my stereo clips from now on?
Some more information: I’m using Final Cut Pro and Compressor to crate my media… Intel Mac OS X… DVD Studio Pro Version 4.1.2.
Thanks for your help

Got an almost kind of (but not really) similar problem. I have videos with multiple audio (AAC and AC3 passthru) in an m4v file. the AAC is always defaulted with the "enable" tick in the properties box. I've tried almost everything I can think of to enable the AC3 track by default so that frontrow or QT will play it. but everytime I save (even save-as) it defaults back to the AAC stereo.
Any ideas? is this a "feature" of 7.5.5?

Multiple Audio Streams?

I'm wondering if there is an application that will allow the computer to route multiple audio streams out of my Mac Pro. or- if anyone knows how to create an easily switchable audio routing panel rather than going through preferences.
Eg. I'm playing Itunes (or hulu or netflix) through my audio line out through my Samsung TV thorough a speaker system to watch online content through the TV and I want to work on files on the computer at the same time, say edit video using FCP and routing that audio through USB speakers at the desk.
Being able to create multiple audio stream routing would be a HUGE asset for someone like me. Even if it's not possible, I would certainly love it if Apple would incorporate a quick switch selector in the pulldown menu for audio volume...
Thoughts? Anyone?
Thanks!

Thanks, the "auxillary effect" totally helped me stream itunes music to my iSight with soundflower....giving webcam streaming my system audio, which I couldnt do before without hearing anything....ugh so complicated! but this works!! Sometimes apple is so rediculous and I know there are more features they could build in.
Thanks!

FLME to stream multiple audio streams

Is it possible to stream multiple audio streams together with one video stream using FLME.
I need to create a live streaming application that should be available in many languages. My idea is to send 1 video stream + n * audio streams.
Any ideas are appreciated.

FMLE is not able to stream multiple audio tracks.
Perhaps a third party encoder is able to do, but the problem is I think the playback
cause adobe´s pluggin does also not support multiple audio tracks.

Encoding multiple audio streams?

Can iDVD see and encode multiple audio streams for a single movie? Maybe this is asking too much but perhaps I've overlooked something...

The norm is to export video and audio out of Premiere Pro separately. Doing this, you will end up with one video file and multiple audio files. Bring them into Encore and add them to a timeline.

Home Theater need. Multiple Audio Streams from 1 card or possible to use 2 car

I currently have 2 SB Li've's installed and a SB Audigy in the box.
I would like to be able to send different audio out to different devices. I need to send audio from a game interface called MAME 32 to a speaker system connected to the PC. I also use this PC as a home theater PC and want to send audio from my DVD playing software out to my TV(in analog stereo mode) and/or to my receiver(in Dolby Digital mode using the digital connector).
I would like to be able to run these seperatly without having to go into the Control Panel and switch the default sound card like I am doing now. I do not need to run them at the same time.

Bummer. Are you guys working on something that might have this capability? Seems to me that the closer we integrate PC's into our entertainment systems the more need we will have for the ability to do multiple audio streams, i.e. MP3's to the living room. DVD movie audio to the family room, XM radio classical station to the kitchen for mom etc..
Intel is offering this as an onboard solution that has the ability to do at least 2 different streams.

Mpeg with mp2 audio

I am getting ready to deliver TV spots for air via FTP, and the media house requests the video be delivered as mpeg with mp2 audio. Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't figure out how to do that easily through Compresser, or even through Mpeg Streamclip.
Here's what I wound up doing: I exported the spot as uncompressed Quicktime. I brought it into Compressor and encoded it as mpeg2, Best Quality and the audio as Dolby 2.0 (in the future, I'll just use AIFF). THEN I brought those files into DVDSP in order to mux them, then opened the resulting VOB in Mpeg Streamclip and converted it to mpeg with mp2 audio.
That seemed to satisfy the tech guy at the media distribution house. But there's gotta be an easier way, right? I know I'm missing something simple...

It's been a while since I've done it with MPEG Streamclip, and I'm not at my Mac right now ... but as I recall, both the audio and video files need to be in the same folder and have the same name (except for the extension). Bring the video file into MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically find the associated audio file.

Working with multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
Thanks,
Thien

One way:
Lock the video track.
Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.

Export MXF with multiple audio channels for broadcast

Hi,
I work at a broadcast company as an editor. We always used FCP with the free sony xdcam plugin to export. This plugin seems to be one of the rare ways to export an MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.
Since our workload has grown enormously the last few months and it will only become more we are optimizing our workflow. We also work with a lot of different endboards in After Effects and we made a nice template to work with. And since AE and Premiere can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.
Now comes the question!: The only obstacle we could not find an answer to is exporting it with 4 audio channels as an MXF from Premiere CS5. Will there be some development on this level regarding CS6?
A solution to this should save us a lot of time!
Any help will be highly appreciated!
I also attached an example for the usual MXF files we export

I have the same problem. I have a project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. None of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels, but only the first two channels contains any audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
I don't understand your answer to wleoni75's question. Could you please help me further?

Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

Problem with xvid videos with two audio streams

/ Hi,
recently I purchased a Creative Zen X-FI2, it is working perfectly, but I only have one problem, I have some videos xvid with two audio streams (mpga), on VLC I can select either of the two audio streams but I haven't found if I can select the audio stream on the Zen player.
Does anyone knows how to select among different audio streams on a video?

The X-Fi2 doesn't have such an option.
If you still want to be able to watch the video with the second audio stream, I think the only possibility is to re-encode it using the second audiostream (or disable the first).

Synchronization of Multiple Audio Streams

Hi,
I'm trying to synchronize several Audio streams during
playback and recording. Several questions I have and not sure if
actually feasible or how to best address :
1/ When playing back 2 audio streams, how can I ensure the
playback is full synchronized (<20ms difference) when client
receives the 2 streams in playback ? Basically trying to simulate a
mix-down with 2 // streaming. Ultimately wants to achieve this with
about 5 audio streams playing back and can't accept tolerate delay.
I suspect I need to synchronize the start of each stream so that
they all start together, but not been very succesfull so far.
Alternatively is there a way to mix-down 2 streams on server and
send back a 1 mixed-down audio stream ?
2/ More tricky I believe : If I playback 1 audio stream and
start recording a separate audio stream, I'm getting again
desynchronised. Later If I replay the 1 audio and the newly
recorded one, both are not anymore aligned. I suspect (but not sure
that the delay and desynchronization is introduced during the
recording but not sure and reason I asked first question...
If someone knows those answers or could provide some
direction of work.... I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks

When it comes to FMS streams, there really is no way of
accurately syncronizing streams. Since you can't keep data in
buffer when pausing the stream, and you have to rebuffer any time
you seek, it's impossible.
The only way I've been able to sync flv's is using
progressive download. With progressive, you can sync streams, but
the accuracy is limited to the keyframe interval of the flv files.
For example, if you have 2 keyframes per second, you can achieve
sync with 1 second accuracy. with 4 keyframes per second, you can
get the offset down to 500ms. If you make every frame a keyframe
(makes for a huge file), you can get frame accurate sync.
The theory is to build a class that monitors the time and
buffer length properties of your two streams, pausing and/or
seeking when needed to maintain sync.

Video with Multiple Audio Tracks-- IOS 4.2 Removes Way to Select Them

After upgrading to IOS 4.2 on my iPhone 4, I've found it no longer lets me select from among multiple audio tracks. The option and button is completely gone.
I encode my videos with AC3 audio as the first track (for my home media devices), and stereo audio as the second track (for the iPhone). Now the iPhone will just play the video, with no audio, and no way to select another track. This is extremely frustrating as I've encoded all my DVDs this way, and never had any issue with playback like this on any IOS device going back to the first gen iPod Touch.
Anyone else have this issue, and know of a work around? Thanks!

I too have the exact same problem for the exact same reason. Did you ever figure out a workaround (other than reencoding all your videos)?
