I've posted this in DVD authoring forum but didn't get a single answer at all. So I try this one.
Using dws 2.0 just for authoring. mpeg and audio encoding were done with other software. For audio, I found a guide about using Goldwave to prepare 6 channels and use Besweet to prepare 5.1 AC3 file. I have used this method and dws2.0 successfully burn several DVD (video 7552kbps, audio 448kbps). All of them are just around 50-60 minutes. I can hear all 6 channels correctly. All of them has 2 titles, each with 2-3 chapters.
But recently I am working on a disc, again, with 2 titles and with 2/3 chapters each. The only different of this one is its total length is about 70 minutes. But the result is not correct. The first title only plays with 2 front channels, other channels have no sound. The second title works fine with all 6 channels. Check the dws project, all "Convert to template" box are unchecked. Examine the ifo file and find that there are 2 title sets, first one is 2ch AC3, second one is 5ch AC3. Examine the ifo file of previously successful DVD, there is only 1 title set (although it has 2 titles) and it is 5ch AC3.
Find dws 2.231 with a bug fix looks like for this problem. Update dws to this version and try again, but still the same. Use ifoEdit to patch the ifo file to 5ch. The file updated but still cannot play the first title with 5.1 sound.
I've also tried many other combination and with a third title as well. Here are the result. V for video, A for audio, 1 means my (originally) first title, 2 the originally second title and 3 the third one I added for testing.
V1A1 + V2A2 --> 2ch + 5ch (my original post)
V2A2 + V1A1 --> 5ch + 2ch
V2A2 + V1A2 --> 5ch + 2ch
V2A2 + V2A2 --> 5ch (only has 1 title set)
V2A2 + V2A1 --> 5ch + 2ch
V2A2 + V3A3 --> 5ch + 2ch
V3A3 + V2A2 --> 2ch + 5ch
V1A1 only --> 2ch
V2A2 only --> 5ch
V2A1 only --> 2ch
V1A1 only --> 2ch
Couldn't see any pattern from the test result. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
