    hi, i'd like to take a video i have in English & add a second audio track. Is that possible without doing a second complete version of the movie?

    I'd rather not have to use Subs if possible. I have the movie from one source as English, and want to put atleast two other languages to it. Maybe even a third (Italian).

    So, could i use the AUDIO_TS folder to accomplish this? Or will i only be able to have a movie that has one audio track & just use subs for the others?

    Thanks in advance.

    Use PgcDemux to demux the movie to a new folder.
    This converts the movie to it's elementary streams.
    Check the boxes for video, audio and celltimes.

    Use MuxMan to load the video and audio and streams and the chapter information.
    Use the submenus to indicate the language of the audio.
    The chapters.txt file is loaded using the top menu (File > Import Chapter).

    The AUDIO_TS folder on a DVD is empty - but required.
    Your additional audio tracks must be the same length (running time) as the original movie audio.
    The additional audio must be .AC3 format.

    thanks for your reply attar.

    i'm a bit confused though. before i try that sw, answer if this is possible:

    one video track, and 3 audio tracks (1=main 2=alternate dialog 3=another language)

    1 video track, 3 audio tracks, and multiple subtitle tracks (perhaps 3 additional languages only as subs)

    When i build the DVD with the existing _two_ audio tracks, will it be double the size of just one language?

    Perhaps, it depends on the audio type.
    DTS is huge, 5.1 is big, stereo is half the size of 5.1.
    Subs are negligible.
