Movies with 2xaudio and subtitles from scratch - how?

[Mentar]

I've been going through the vastness of guides on this brilliant site, and also weeded through most of the boards. I apologize if my question has been answered elsewhere, but I was unable to find it completely, so I thought I should better ask.

Let's say I want to create a DVD from scratch, with nothing fancy. Preferably several small movies with 2 audio tracks, optional subtitles. It doesn't have to have big stuff like menus, I would settle down for one mini-movie after another just fine. So the big question is: How can it be done? What authoring software is necessary for this task?

I am competent enough to make any audio/video/subtitle format conversions and provide whatever is necessary. However, I lack the knowledge which authoring software can just take the files and create a DVD out of it - from scratch, not reauthoring anything.

Can somebody help me? This would make a perfect guide, by the way!

Thank you very much in advance!

If it's a small movie and both audio tracks will fit, I would suggest ReMPEG2. I've tried TMPGEnc, but for me it's never been successfull. On this site there's a great guide that will help you through (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-basic.htm). Then re-mux with IfoEdit. It's as simple as that. I mean, I didn't know anything about DVD's, but with this guide I was able to backup my first 2 movies.
But to tell you the truth, with CCE the movies look much better, but it's take some re-authoring (only 2 extra steps and it's very, very easy with DVDmaestro, maybe even easier).

I repeat: I don't want to RE-master a DVD, I want to author it from scratch. There is no movie to be backed up, it's new material which has never been a DVD before.

Oops, my mistake, sorry.

Authoring it from scratch is almost the same as re-authoring: there's a video file (or several) that needs to be encoded in MPEG2 (or you've done this already), there's an audio track (in your case 2), maybe some subs and chapter information and voilà. You import all information in an authoring program (say DVDMaestro, just drag 'n drop), and then assign what needs to be done by the end of the chapter or what happens when someone pushes a button. It almost speaks for itself.

a lot of dvd authoring software supports 1 movie, 2 audio tracks and 2 subtitle tracks, DVDVirtuoso (the lowest model in the DVDMaestro family), i think ReelDVD supports that too, and dvdit (maybe), and also any software that is more complex (ie more expensive) than those will do it.
