Does TMPGEnc DVD Author allow you to play 2nd and 3rd audio tracks?

[Carlos Garcia]

Hi everyone. I am new to TMPGEnc DVD Author. I recently started authoring some of my DVDs. The problem I've come across is with files that contain commentary or second language tracks. They don't seem to play when re-authored with TMPGEnc DVD Author. I have version 1.5.20.62. I also have the AC-3 sound plug-in. Can someone please give me a clue as to whether 2nd and 3rd audio tracks can be re-authored using TMPGEnc DVD Author, and if so, how? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for replying. Would you know of any other DVD authoring program (that's as easy to use as TMPGEnc DVD Author) that does allow you to re-author every complete audio track (5.1, 2nd, 3rd language, and commentary)? It just seems that every other DVD authoring program I've seen is very complicated, and TMPGenc DVD Author is so easy to use. I would think re-authoring the complete original audio tracks wouldn't be such a hard thing to do. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Carlos.

Ulead DVD Workshop 2 will allow you to add many audio tracks.

It is not as simple as TMPGEnc DVD Author but it is a lot easier to use then most other "professional" DVD author programs. It has a wizard interface for new users and it has a regular interface for experienced users.

The only downside is that it is $495, but it does have a free 30 day trial version.

Thanks. I tried it last night, but DVD Workshop doesn't seem to want to import vobs the way TMPGEnc DVD Author does. It seems every vob I import to DVD Workshop gets imported as an .mpg file. What happens to the sound? I've tried everything possible to import vobs and keep the original audio, but can't seem to find a way to do it. For a simple program, TMPGEnc at least imported vobs and maintained them as vobs, complete with sound. Is there anyway to import vobs with DVD Workshop and keep the original audio tracks intact, without needing for the program to divide the video and audio, and create an mpg file instead? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What does this have to do with mpeg-1/2 encoding?:confused:
