Question about not seamless multi angle

[mp3dom]

Hi to all!
I know that, with seamless multiangle, all the angles share the same audio/subs so it is possible to change seamless every angle and keep the current audio/sub. Also the limitation of bitrate is at about 8 Mbps (meaning that 1 angle plus all audio/sub bitrate cannot exceed 8 Mbps).
What really I want to know is how not seamless multiangle works. I've red that every angle can have its own audio/sub tracks and the angle switch is obviously not seamless but If I have 3 angles and 3 audio tracks and I assign 1 track to each (not seamless) angle then when I play the DVD every angle has 1 track (that cannot change) or I have 3 tracks (like in seamless multiangle)? To change the audio do I need to change the angle first? (so every audio/sub are linked to the angle)? If I change the angle, it change also the audio/subs? If I want that every angle has 3 tracks do I need to "multiply" 3 tracks for every angle (so a total of 9 track, 3 per angle)?. About the "8 Mbps" limitation.. is still there? (8 Mbps for 1 angle plus all audio/subs tracks or 8 Mbps for the angle and every audio/sub tracks assigned to only that angle?)
Thanks!

Maybe explaining how it works will answer your many questions, including those not yet asked.
There is very little difference between seamless and non-seamless angles. Each angle is a complete multiplex of navigation, video, up to 8 audio, and up to 32 subpicture streams with a maximum combined bitrate that depends on the number of angles, but is never more than 8Mbps.
In seamless multiangle the audio and subpicture streams are all identical and do appear in each angle's multiplex thread. The video must have identical duration and gop structure, use closed gops, and be within a certain percentage of size.
In non-seamless the audio and subpicture streams can have different content, but the number of streams and the stream attributes must match. The video must still match in duration, but the gop structure and size constraints are removed.
Other than that the only difference is which pointers in the navigation stream are used to link the interleave together.

Thanks for your answer!
So in non-seamless multiangle I can't have one angle with 5.1 and another with only 2.0.
What do you mean in seamless multiangle with "be within a certain percentage of size"? Staying at lower than 8 Mbps not enough?

So in non-seamless multiangle I can't have one angle with 5.1 and another with only 2.0. true. All angles contain the same stream types, including language.

What do you mean in seamless multiangle with "be within a certain percentage of size"? Staying at lower than 8 Mbps not enough? Because the video is different it cannot be encoded to exactly the same size for all angles, but must be very close - about 2%.

Thank you very much, mpucoder!
