I’m building a video for my website with HTML5. Ideally, I’d have only one silent video file, and five different audio tracks in different languages that sync up with the video.

Then I’d have a button that allows users to switch between audio tracks, even as the video is playing; and the correct audio track would come to life (without the video pausing or starting over or anything; much like a DVD audio track selection).

I can do this quite simply in Flash, but I don’t want to. There has to be a way to do this in pure HTML5 or HTML5+jQuery. I’m thinking you’d play all the audio files at 0 volume, and only increase the volume of the active track… but I don’t know how to even do that, let alone handle it when the user pauses or rewinds the video…

Thanks in advance!

    If you’re willing to let all five tracks download, why not just mux them into the video? Videos are not limited to a single audio track (even AVI could do multiple audio tracks). Then syncing should be handled for you. You’d just enable/disable the audio tracks as needed.
