Hi,
Can anyone suggest a DVD authoring package for me. I have tried a few but none really seem to fit my wish list.
I want to make DVD's of camcorder footage. I would like 2 audio tracks, one for the original soundtrack, and one for an edited cleaned up version, and one subtitle track for date/location info. I am not fussed about integrated menu making or motion menus, and am happy to import elementary streams.
The closest 2 seem to be ReelDVD and ULead DVD Workshop. An hour of footage tends to have between 30 to 80 clips, so in ReelDVD, editing the menu chapter points seems a pain (unless I am missing something) as the navigation indicator from the menu to the clip just shows 1 arrow with a number attached showing the number of links, and no way of visualising the links. I tried ULead DVD Workshop, but I would like a bit more obvious control over/display of navigation. The vast majority of other packages seem to only support one audio track and no subtitles.
So is there a package which can accomodate 2 audio streams, one subtitle stream, and has easy editing of menu to chapter point links, and doesn't completely hide all the navigation details?
