DVD Audio 1&2

I'm making a Karaoke DVD video using VV3. I'd like put a music track with vocals in Audeo1 and put the music without vocals in Audio2, so when people wanna sing along,
they could just switch to Audio2. How would I go about doing that?

Sorting this is going to be mainly down to your DVD authoring program and how you do it is going to depend on what program you have.

You will possibly have to render them all out as seperate files (i.e. Video only elementary stream & seperate audio streams) & then in your authoring program create the links you want between the files.
VV3 isn't going to be able to do that.

I know nothing about special "Karaoke" modes in DVD, but I see two obvious ways to do it:

(1) If your video is less than about one hour in length, you could create two separate DVD-video programs on the same DVD. One of them has one audio program, and the other has the second audio program. A menu at the beginning would allow the user to select between them.

(2) This is the cooler way--create a single DVD-video program with dual audio programs. In other words, the vobs on the DVD contain a single video program and not just one but two audio programs, and again, a menu at the beginning selects one or the other. This is how Hollywood formats the "Director's Commentary" on commercial movie DVDs, and it means you don't waste all your DVD space duplicating the video all over again. The downside is that only the more expensive DVD authoring programs will allow for multiple audio programs. The ones that come to mind are Pinnacle Impression, ReelDVD, and DVD-Wise.

(2) is exactly what I'm look for. I'll look into those programs that you mentioned.
Are ReelDVD, and DVD-Wise by Pinnacle, too? Thanks for your help, Riredale.

Here's what I found out on prices. Pinnacle Impression is $599.00, and ReelDVD is
$1,500.00. Is there any other programs that can do similar without those kinda price tags?
