View Full Version : ReelDVD can't do multiple audio programs!

I was stunned today to discover that ReelDVD can't author a disk with multiple audio programs. Well, it can, sort of--it lets you build multiple audio programs, but it can't build a menu that gives the viewer access to them!

From what I can tell, if you want your viewer to be able to hear a "Director's Commentary" track, for example, you are supposed to create a menu that explains how to get to the alternative audio program by using his remote control!

If true, this is really a dumb idea. I had thought ReelDVD was a "semipro" authoring program.

altho ReelDVD is a cutdown version of Scenarist, it doesnt do MultiPGC properly, and doesnt let you do command sequences (which is basically whats required for stream changing in menus).

it is a Semi-Pro authoring app, so is DVDVirtuoso, neither of them will let you do command sequences.
