[SOLVED] BRAVIA AVI problem

Hello, I have successfully installed serviio on WinXP computer for using with my new BRAVIA KDL40EX725.
It works well but there are problems with some files. I think that is also normal, there are to much different methods to encode.
But can you pleas take a look at this fmmpeg -i output ? TV says it cannot play.
--------------
Input #0, avi, from 'F:\tmp\File01.avi':
Metadata:
encoder : VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1 (build 2178/release)
IAS1 : English
IAS2 : Deutsch
Duration: 00:42:23.60, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1154 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Simple Profile) (XVID / 0x44495658), yuv420p, 528
x400 [SAR 1:1 DAR 33:25], 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
Stream #0:1: Audio: mp3 (U[0][0][0] / 0x0055), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 32 kb/s
Stream #0:2: Audio: mp3 (U[0][0][0] / 0x0055), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 64 kb/s
--------------
Streaming the file is not a problem, I have tested it on my Andoid tablet with Upnplay. It starts the Rockplayer, this asks which audio stream should be used and then plays the file.

For testing I had then removed audio stream number 1 with VirtualDubMod (direct stream copy), but TV also not plays the result file.
I think serviio thinks that the TV can play it and does not transcode it, is so ?

P.S. Now have read Thread 4585 and have check with avi fourcc changer, but one field is "xvid" and the other "XVID", hope there is no upcase/lowercase sensitivity.

Re: BRAVIA AVI problem

Im not sure if using virtaldubs direct stream option to remove the 1 audio track would of worked as it would of just copied both audio tracks instead but could be wrong. What i would of done is used virtaldubmod to save audio track 2 as a wav file then used virtualdub and set it to direct stream video and have no audio track then remux track 2 using the add audio file option. But i like doing things the long way :D

Re: BRAVIA AVI problem

Have found a solution, thanks @WildRushSykes for the hint.
Avidemux is the right program for doing the job good and fast.
1) Load the file, confirm messages about rebuilding map.
2) Choose in Audio menu the main track.
3) Save the new file.
Ready.

Howsoever it would be good to have an option in serviio to advice it to transcode files with more than one audio stream und preselect the language for automatically choose the correct stream, a topic for the wish list...
