Hi

I have searched through this and teh DVDA Forums and found some help alomg with what I have read in the manual and the Help file for DVDA but cannot get my head round what I need to do.

I have asked this question in the DVDA forum but it does not seem as busy as here:(

I want to have two audio files for the one video but don't wish to have the video added twice. I am using Vegas 5d and DVDA2.

I want to be able to offer the viewer the opportunity to play the video iwith either 5.1 surround or Stereo depending on his/her setup.

I am certain it can be done but iI am finding it somewhat confusing. It could be that I am expecting it to be more complicated than it really is.

If it has been covered many times before then my apologies but maybe someone can show a pointer to some help.

Cheers.

I think I have found a solution - not sure that it's the most elequent, though.

I create two menus, both look the same except one say 5.1 Surround on the Play button and the other says Stereo.

On both menus i have two buttons on the right, 5.1 Surround and Stereo respectively.

The 5.1 button selects the default Surround sound track and links to the Menu with t he 5.1 Surround button.

The Stereo button selects the Stereo track and links to the menu with the Stereo Play button.

This way I only require the video track once and two audio tracks with it.

I have tested it (entered a completely different sounding audio track for the Stereo) and it appears to work fine from the preview button.

Can anyone offer a better way to acheive this in DVDA2?

I use DVD lab for that very reason. It handles multiple audio tracks every well including DTS. Plus they have a already made audio menu selector tool that u just drag and drop and you are good to go.
