Multiple Audio Channels for Blu Ray?

Clator wrote on 12/26/2011, 11:25 PM

I have Vegas MoviePro HD Platinum 11.

I have a HD project I wish to burn to blu ray. I would like to have two audio tracks on the disc. One surround mix and one alternate stereo track. How can I assign certain audio tracks on the timeline to either the 5.1 mix or the 2.0 mix and burn a disc with multiple tracks?

If Vegas itself cannot support this, how should the project be exported for DVD Architect, assuming DVDA will actually support this?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

You have Vegas Movie Studio. DVD Architect Studio does not support 5.1 audio for BluRay.

In order to have this capability, you would upgrade your software installation to Vegas Pro / DVD Architect Pro.

Once you have done so, you do not need to encode two separate audio tracks for your BluRay disc. The main 5.1 stream is encoded with a flag that handles the downmix to stereo in all players with perfect results.

The content of the stereo mix is markedly different from the 5.1 mix. though. The stereo track is a dedicated music-only track while the 5.1 track is a full music/dialog/sound effects track.
