The best (TM) solution would be, if the broadcasters were finally able to read the specs and use different pids for different languages audio tracks. This "Zweikanalton"-feature was only used due to a lack of transmitting two languages the old fashioned way (analog) to the TVs...is this a "zweikanalton" recording? i think vdr is not able to manage this kind of audio till now. the easiest/quick and dirty solution would be an ability to mute onlyyes, that's a great problem with such recordings where one language is on the left and one on the right. For vdr this is "one" channel - the green button meens switching between several audio streams This is done by different audio PID's. TV-sets often have a switch for "stereo-mono-left only-right only" but unfortunatly receivers mostly doesn't have. In the case of 3sat with this "left-right" languages you can playing with balance or if your receiver has a at least a mono-switch, you can easy plug out the right cinch cable and press Mono. The best way would be if Klaus could insert such a function in VDR, the second way could be a script (running i.E. by recordcmd) wich is demuxing the record, using a audio tool to copy the left channel to the right right (I'm pretty sure such a tool exist) and muxing the record again...)
the left or right "stereo"-signal.
I've recorded "Leben nach Microsoft". My problem is that I can't replay this recording with german voice. If I replay the recording the english and german sound is mixed. The readme file says you can select a "tonspur" in the VDR menue with the green button. No matter what I try the sound is always mixed. I even tried to unplug one soundcabel but this way I get on one channel german/english mixed and on the other one only english. Is there a way to get the german channel?
