Does DeVeDe support multiple audio tracks?

[Leomontenegro]

Hello.

I'm using DeVeDe 3.14.0 in Ubuntu recently. It's a great and handy
program for converting videos to DVD.

I've converted some movies and series to DVD and it works like a
charm. My series are mostly hardsubbed, and my movies have external
subtitles in .SRT files. DeVeDe recognized my .SRT files and made
perfectly viewable subtitles in my DVD.

But now I'm with a movie with two audio tracks: English and
Portuguese. And I can't find and option to insert both tracks. Does
DeVeDe support it?

Any help is appreciated.

feature yet!!
If you discover, please announce for us :)

Hi,

I think I might help.
Once I wrote a shell script to convert .avi files to DVD, it worked
fine for a few years, but I don't know why, in Debian squeeze it
stopped working. It's probably some stupidity, but, as I had no time
to check, and found devede that did just what I needed, I dropped the
script.

Well, one of the things I miss from my script is the conversion of 2
or more audios, and it's kind of easy, but I simply don't know a shit
about python, so, I thought of "dumping" here the command lines, and
hope some of you to implement it on devede, what about that?

Well, to dump the audio files I actually use transcode, I tried using
mplayer/mencoder, but it didn't work, so, why bother?
Anyway, the command line I use is just:
/usr/bin/transcode -i "video.avi" -x raw -N 0x2000 -g 0x0 -y null,raw
-a 0 -b 224 -m "audio0.ac3" --export_fps 29.97
/usr/bin/transcode -i "video.avi" -x raw -N 0x2000 -g 0x0 -y null,raw
-a 1 -b 224 -m "audio1.ac3" --export_fps 29.97
/usr/bin/transcode -i "video.avi" -x raw -N 0x2000 -g 0x0 -y null,raw
-a 2 -b 224 -m "audio2.ac3" --export_fps 29.97
(....) and so on, as many as I need.

With the Options:
-N 0x2000 - export ac3 audio
-a # - number of the track
-m <name> - name of the extracted track file
-b <bitrate> - 224 sound nice, so, why bother? :-)
-x -y and -g just used to guarantee that only the audio is processed,
speed things up.
--export_fps <fps> - didn't see much of a difference touching this, though....

And then, to join everything, comes the easiest part.

mplex -o "outfile.mpg" -f 8 "tempvideo.m2v" audio0.ac3 audio1.ac3
audio2.ac3 (....)
with the whole bunch of audio files listed on the end.
