How to use the Morgan Stream Switcher :
You need at least a 2 audio streams avi file (a BivX movie for example). A DivX movie containing multiple-language is often called 'BivX'.
Now, if you have a BivX :
- Download and run MMSwitch.exe v0.99
At this time you can already play a BivX in Windows Media Player, you should personalize the text displayed in the langage menu otherwise Windows Media Player displays Audio Track 1, Audio Track 2, ...
How to set the text displayed in the langage menu :
Solution 1 :
Create a text file with note pad :
- Save it with the name of your avi file and under .mss format.
- The 'Audio_def' parameter set the default langage.
You can specify Windows LCID instead of explicit language name. When specified, a Windows LCID must be expressed in hexadecimal and prefixed by 0x, for example Audio_1 = 0x0C is equivalent to Audio_1 = French.
If Audio_def = 0, Morgan Stream Switcher will try to select the audio stream which matchs with the local language of the machine where's the video is playing.
Solution 2 :
You can use MMAviInf to store stream names in the AVI file itself. Stream names are stored as Tags of the LIST INFO chunk.
- Download MMAviInf.zip, unzip it and run it :
Load the AVI file you want to edit.
Click on the Tag ID you want to modify.
Type-in the text value of the Tag in the Edit Box.
Click on others Tag IDs and modify text text value as you want.
Save the modified file.
IAS1 to IAS9 indentify audio streams 1 to 9.
You can specify Windows LCID or explicit language name. When specified, a Windows LCID must be expressed in hexadecimal and prefixed by 0x, for example 0x0C is equivalent to French or Français.
ICAS identifies the common audio stream, this stream will be selected when the movie will start to play. For example set ICAS to 2 if you want to stat playing the movie with the 2nd audio stream selected.
If ICAS is set to 0, Morgan Stream Switcher will try to select the audio stream which matchs with the local language of the machine where's the video is playing.
Caution : MMAviInf is at a beta stage. So backup important files before editing to avoid any loss of content.
About subtitles :
Morgan stream Switcher v0.97 supports gabest's DVobSub subtitling system. It means you can switch the subtitles too into the langage menu of Windows Media Player.
