Multiple audio streams for 1 video track

Hi I have a few different sountracks I want to use with one video asset.
I want to avoid duplicating the video track and putting a version of the audio in it.
If I have an Audio tab in my menus with music and lyrics, one with instrumental only and a dolby 5.1 surrond
how do i target the buttons to choose different audio as i click on the 5.1 let's say, it will choose to play stream #3 5.1 surrond.
Been looking in the manual but could't find anything.
Any help is appreciated
thanx

Sorry about the links -:(
Anyway follow these steps and it should work (one approach, not difficult to do, I just wrote the steps in small bites )
Press F3 Key so we are looking at the same layout in DVD SP
1.) Make a menu with two buttons, label them Audio A and Audio B
2.) Make a Track (the "TRACK")
3.) Place your video on the video portion of the TRACK
4.) Place your Audio A on A1 track and Audio B on the A2 track
5.) Drop a chapter marker at the end of the TRACK (one should be at the begininng of the track by default)
6.) Click Add Story from the top Bar for the TRACK
7.) Name that story Story A, add the first Chapter Marker to the Story
8.) In inspector for Story A deselect/remove check marks for all audio except for 1 (uncheck 2-7)
9.) Duplicate Story A as Story B
10.) In inspector for Story B deselect/remove check marks for all audio except for 2 (uncheck 1, 3-7)
11.) Set Button 1 from menu to Story A, Button 2 story B
Note that this method will not allow toggling between the audio. A quick way to permit toggling is to do as above, but have both Audios (1 & 2) checked in steps 8 & 10
Create a script called PRESTORYA and set it as a prescript for Story B, with the following:
Set System Stream AU(Audio Stream 1)
Create a script called PRESTORYB and set it as a prescript for Story B, with the following:
Set System Stream AU(Audio Stream 2)
FWIW the links worked just now (downloads a zip file directly to HD, take a look in activity window in Safari, maybe there for you?)

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.

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.

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.

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!

Multiple audio files for one flash video

My company is developing a presentation software program that
is flashed-based. We are developing a series of videos that will be
converted to flash video. We will also be recording multiple audio
tracks for different languages that we want to swap out and sync to
the video (like the different audio language tracks on a DVD). Does
anyone know if you can encode the video and audio to seperate
tracks and then swap out the audio with another and still synch it
to the video?
We want to try and avoid encoding video for all the language
tracks to save space. If we could have one video file and then
multiple audio files that can be synched with the video file,
rather than having to encode video and audio for each language,
this would save a lot of room. Can anyone think of a way we could
accomplish this using flash and flash video?

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Help using multiple audio channels for one video

Hi,
I have a video file with 3 audio files (stereo (.wav), 5.1 surround (.AC3), and commentary (.wav).
I have placed these on the time line of the video track, but now I need to have buttons to target each of them from a menu. However, when is choose a buttons target, is doesn't give me the option of which audio channel to play (A1/A2/A3 etc).
Is this possible with just one track, or do I need 3 (each with a different audio file as A1)?
Hope you can help! cheers.
Tim

There is a tutorial on setting this up here;
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_languagenattress.html
BTW I would very strongly suggest to compress your WAV files to stereo AC3 files. It will reduce your overall bandwidth, and you will have a disc that will less problems in playing.

Adding commentary tracks / alt audio to one video track

Hello-
I have tried to follow along in the books and it does not get too far. Fairly comfortable with scripting.
I have a short video track with a default audio (same name) with 2 additional audio tracks that I want the viewer to be able to select via a sub menu I have created. I know how to drag them intot he track editor in DVDSP but, from there, I'm lost.
Can someone please help.
Thanks,
Tom J

hey tom
this can be done with or without scripts.
you say that you have a menu alreay with the different audio options, correct?
if you do, you would lay all your audio tracks onto its appropriate stream (A1, A2, A3).
then you go to your menu and set up the menu like you would any (create the menu name, drag a selector box to correspond to the highlighted button, etc.)
one this is accomplished, click on the button associated with audio track 1 (A1) and look at your inspector. click on the advance tab and you will see options for setting the streams angles, audio (this is the one you want) and subtitle. click on the dropdown box, and select A1.
then click on the on the menu button associated with A2 and look at your inspector again under the advance tab and you will see it reset itself, now again click on the doprdown menu and now associate that stream with A2.
do the same for the A3.
once you are done, verify the setting with clicking on the first menu button associated with A1 and you will see under the inspectors advance button that Audio stream 1 will be saved. your golden form there!
scripting the bad boy is a little more involved. there is an an article out there that goes through it with great detail.. do a forum search for "scripting audio stream" and you will find it.
goodluck

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.

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?

Merge Clips: Can you omit the audio from the video track?

To be more specific:
Running FCP 6.0.3:
I'm syncing audio separately recorded to video for a feature film. The video (RED ftg) has one track of reference audio on it, and it's usually a scratchy wireless signal that is not useable. Can I merge the video track with the audio tracks and leave behind the bad audio? Or can I get rid of that audio in any way?
Thanks
Jason

WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.
Thanks Michael

Multiple Hard Drives for Video Editing with Premiere Elements 8?

I'm using Premiere Elements 8 for video editing. These are the specs I'm using:
The camcorder I used to shoot the footage is a Sony Handycam with model number HDR-SR12. It's a digital HD video camera recorder that shoots in NTSC 1920x1080i HD recording. The footage was shot with AVC HD 9M (HQ), which records in higher image quality mode. The video camera is connected to my computer through a USB cable.
The computer itself is a Windows 7 desktop computer. The CPU is an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-150f PC with Intel Core i7-860 processor. I imported the video into Premiere by selecting "File" --> "Get Media From" and then choosing the third option from the top.
My import option is NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel, which matches the specs of the camera I shot the footage with.
Even with the patch 8.0.1 that should be preventing crashing, the program keeps crashing upon startup with one specific video project. Using the exact same video files for that project, I recreated the video, with Elements, and never ran into the problem. Both times, I had the patch installed.
At the moment, I am using only the single internal hard drive for everything (software, OS, video editing, etc.). It is 1 TB in size. However, I am informed that one hard drive is not recommended for video editing, and that I need at least two hard drives, one for OS and one specifically for video editing. I was also informed of FireWire 800 and eSata; however, it does not appear that my computer supports eSata.
Can this problem be resolved if I have an external hard drive and connect it to my computer with FireWire 800 (which the computer supports)? If not, what can be done so this problem doesn't arise in the future?
Thanks for the help.

When you import the footage is there a red line across the whole of the timeline?

As you have the recreated project working fine I'd be inclined to put this down as a one-off glitch. If it happens again on a different project then it may be more worrying. You may want to consider using save-as to create multiple versions of your project (note this does NOT duplicate the source clips - so you won't be eating up much extra disk space). You could for example use save-as to create a daily version - ProjectName-Mon, ProjectName-Tue etc....

How do I Label Audio Streams for Playback

I am working on a DVD with 2 audio streams and the client would like when toggling from one stream to the next for them to be labeled on the DVD player "5.1" or "2.0". I know I have seen it on retail DVD's. Currently it just reads 1 or 2. How do I change it so it reads "5.1" or "2.0"? Is this a scripting thing? Scripting is the one thing that I am really having a hard time grasping and understanding unfortunately even with tutorials. Any help, info, or tutorials are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you mean labelled on the text display screen on the front of the DVD player hardware, then this isn't something you can control from the disc. It is a feature of the player itself.
If you want to show the audio choice on the TV screen as the disc plays back (i.e. within a menu where you make an audio stream choice) then that's different - it is possible to do this.
If you want to change the audio stream using the remote handset and show the change in audio stream dynamically at any time on the TV screen as the disc is playing, then that is also not possible.
