buttons to select language tracks

Hi, I apologize if this has been answered. I am thousands of miles away from the studio using a terrible connection (agonizingly slow)

Source media is XDCAM HD 420.

Edited in Premiere, used dynamic link to make DVD with language buttons. Works great. One of the movies has three languages.

Failed for two days to get Encore to build a Bluray version of the same video. Will not do it.

Recreated it in DVD-A 5 and made the Bluray without a hitch, sort of. Could NOT find a way to use buttons to switch language tracks, only option seems to be "AUDIO" on the Bluray remote but the client's remote does not have said button. How can I use buttons to change the movie's language track?

Thanks in advance and I mentioned Adobe to make it clear the cource files are fine.

There are instructions in the manual / online help for Adding a Setup Menu. That will tell you how to add menu buttons for selecting the language track. Assuming you have set up alternative audio tracks in DVD Architect? If you just imported a video file with multiple audio streams, don't expect DVDA to assign them to alternate tracks automagically. (At least, it doesn't for DVD projects. Haven't done any Blu-ray discs myself, but I doubt it will for those, either.)

That said,your client's remote almost certainly has a button for switching audio tracks, even if it's labeled differently. Have you seen the remote yourself or are you taking their word for it? If the latter, don't. ;-)

thanks. I added the alternative language tracks as per my manual and when I get back to Canada I'll follow your directions to the online directions. I haven't seen the remote because I dropped off the Bluray on the way to the airport. Thanks again.
