2 audio tracks with dvd2svcd

[colt4523]

From what I have read in the forums, dvd2svcd supports 2 audio tracks. My problem is that I cant get the other audio track (directors comments) to appear on my vcd. I would like to have both the original audio track and the directors commentary selectable on my vcd.

I assume I need to do something more then just selecting 2 audio tracks under the conversion tab. I selected both the regular audio track and then the directors commentary for my second audio stream. What else do I need to do?

I actually forgot about that fact. Problem solved then...thanks

What you can do (albeit manually): make a dual mono (double channel?) audio file, i.e.: left channel original audio, right channel audio commentary. Most DVD players have an audio select button which essentially picks either the left or right channel.

Of course, that way you end up with mono tracks, but hey ... btw, most HK vcds use this approach to incorporate dual language options.
