[vlc] VLC playing separate MP2 video and WAV audio at same time?

[Charles Cotton]

Is there any way to set up the options in VideoLAN so that it will play an
MP2 video file and the associated wav file at the same time?

The application is in Video Editing.  We are using Pinnacle Systems DC1000
editing cards in a Windows environment.  These can produce output files in
DVD compliant format.  When you capture, there is an option to save the file
to disk in its two component forms, namely video (MP2 file extension, DVD
compliant video) and audio (wav extension).
When you open the MP2 file up for editing, the DC1000 system and Premier
opens the associated (because it has the same name) wav file.It would be
really useful to 'preview' the intermediate stage file (MP2 and the wav) on
systems that do not have the DC1000 installed.The VideoLAN client could be
used for this.

The VideoLAN client (now using the new 0.5.0) correctly opens and displays
the MP2 video file. It also correctly plays the wav audio file when it is
opened separately. If the VideoLAN client could just be told to open the wav
file with the same name as the MP2 file it opens, it would do the preview
function we need.

Can certain advanced settings in the client be configured now to do this?
If not, could this functionality be looked at for future work on the client?

It's a great program BTW, very useful and functional.

Thanks.
