Dual audio and forcing a certain audio to be main.

[Naughtmare]

I looked and looked and still can't find it:
I have Blood+ and its in English with Subtitles disabled by default. It also includes the Japanese audio and Subtitles but I have to switch every episode. I dont have a problem with that when I am at the computer but recently I've gotten pretty lazy since college finished for me, and summer term is a month away... I deter, point is, I need a way to make it default Japanese + Subtitles.
If its in the wikia I apologize ahead of time because I couldn't find it Sorrryyyy

On another note I've been struggling with the damned avatar (Forum) it keeps saying

Code: [Select]

The following errors occurred when trying to save your profile:

Anyone care to tell me what I did wrong?
Here are the 2 links Ive been trying to use:

Avatar = Solved... It was too big, and I dont feel like resizing the .gif so I used the .jpg instead and made it the 150x200 size... kthx. Still need help with the Audio/Sub thing.
thanks


TL;DR: Dual Audio. need to make jap the primary one, instead of english and enable subtitles by default.

This makes certain (possibly wrong) assumptions about your system, but if you have CCCP installed:

Start Menu > Haali Media Center > Haali Media Center Setting

In the "Audio and Subtitle Preferences" field, enter* jpn,jpn;jpn,eng

Set "Match subtitle track name to audio" to "Yes"

This should work for most dual-audio releases out there, and it will work for Arigatou's** Blood+, as it only has one subtitle stream.

*Some groups tag the full subtitles as "Japanese" and the Songs/Signs-only subs as "English" -- instructing Haali to look for jpn subtitles first will cover those releases as well as ones that tag the subs as English.

Note that if you have a release where both subtitle tracks are tagged English, and the first one is the Songs/Signs-only track, you will need to manually change that, with perhaps one exception.

**Though I must ask, if you want to watch Blood+ in Japanese, why are you watching the Arigatou version? Those particular R1 DVDs were dubtitled, meaning the subs are straight transcripts of the English dub. If you want accurate translations, I suggest getting the Shinsen TV-rips, or the ecchilicious DVD version that uses Shinsen's subs.

Firstly thanks.
I use VLC thus everything you said does not in fact pertain to me, YET.
Should I get CCCP?
Should I do everything you said, or does VLC have its own work around?
Further, I did not look for a certain type of Blood+ just download the first one, thus being in this dilemma. But this is not the only torrent with this kind of issue. Also I have 4 different subtitles included with Blood+ where they are inside the .mkv file and do not house themselves as separate .srt files, and what I asked about the subtitles is to have them enabled by default. Not necessarily english, but just enabled. You see I hate, I completely and totally despise English translations of anything. I am not a weaboo, but I hate american voices more than anything else. When I downloaded blood+ it had eng first, jap second, subtitles are off by default but are in fact included in 4 different languages...
Sorry for the wall of text by the way.

I would recommend Kawaii Codec Pack instead of CCCP.

The tutorial by Zalis is pretty much the same but with LAV Splitter instead.

You shouldn't use VLC. It has its own built in codecs but the performance is just utter crap. You'll be a lot better off with Media Player Classic and a good codec pack. Personally I use Shark007 along with Icaros Thumbnails Standalone (gives all videos proper thumbnails on x64 systems and Windows Explorer won't crash).

(click to show/hide)

Help > Options > Internal Filters

Under Source Filters, unchecked:
AVI
DTS/AC3
Matroska
MP4/MOV
MPEG Audio
MPEG PS/TS/PVA
Ogg

Under Transform Filters, checked:
ALAC
RealAudio
PS2 Audio (PCM/ADPCM)
Other PCM/ADPCM
WMV3 (DXVA)
RealVideo
VP3/5/6
WMV1/2/3
MJPEG
Indeo 3/4/5

Then at Playback > Output we have Haali Renderer

You could probably use Icaros with just about any codec pack though. I use to use CoreAVC but ever since it stopped working for 10-bit then got worse performance than the filters included in codec packs I've just straight up ditched it.

I did not know that VLC is bad?
I always use it and I mean Im pretty out there on movies I usually get all my releases from yify and he has 720/1080. I dont doubt what you say but it was always an easy way out using VLC. Now I dont know what to do lul. I will look into everything you guys provided

[Al_Sleeper]

It is an easy way, but it is definitely not the best way.
