Multiple audio options

I'm pretty new at this. I checked the help files and couldn't find anything close to what I would like to do.

I'd like to have an option where you can choose to play a particular video in either ac3 5.1 or just plain 2 channel stereo. Is there anyway to do this. Similar to how you'd choose your audio setting on the hollywood style dvd's. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help.

With DVDA3 you just setup multiple audio streams. the manual says how to setup a menu for it too.

Thanks that helped to get close to what I wanted. Though if I have a motion menu I'd have to disable the "destination" and put empty button or graphic links and point them to the audio style to play.

There doesn't seem to be a way to set what audio format the person would like and then click on "play" video and have it play that audio setup. Sorry if I can explain it better, but the info you provided will work.

Sure there is. Create versions of your main menu, the default version has stereo specified for the audio track of the movie. If they select 5.1, then you take them to the alternate version of the main menu -on the alternate version of the main menu the link to the movie specifies the 5.1 track.
