    I'm trying to copy Weekend at Bernie's. The movie has both English and French audio tracks already. How can I change it so the default start language for the DVD is in French instead of Enlish??

    this could be done very easily via pgcedit

    maybe this might help to change audio streams with pgcedit

    goal:
    setting language stream number 1 (e.g. GERMAN) to be 2 (or n) and make audio stream number 2 (ENGLISH) the default audio stream number 1

    [​IMG]

    0:
    open your files in pgcedit

    1:
    search for the main title (take a look at the length), the audio streams of which you want to change

    2:
    click *edit pgc*

    3:
    in this new window click the first audio stream (which might be german or french ...)

    4:
    now use the slide and move the from postition 0 (in my example) to 1
    0 is 0x80 and thus audio stream number 1, whereas 1 is 0x81 and thus stream number 2 (not 1!!!)

    next move former stream number 1 (your english stream) to 0 (i.e. 0x80 which is the primary audio stream)

    finalize this via *SET*

    5:
    click *current domain stream attributes*

    ++++++++++++++++

    [​IMG]

    1:
    as the previous audio stream number (0x80) may have been DE (german) you might now want to set the language to EN(glish)

    2:
    for further abbreviations you can click *iso639 language codes* and see what you might need to type into the fields


    this should be all

    hope it helps

    thanks guys, I think I'm going to try pgcedit.

    Besides that I don't know much about re-authoring, I've always avoided it because someone told me it reduces video quality... I get the feeling that is crap, but oh well I've always found a way around it.

    ok, title 2 and title 3 are the same length, with the same audio settings. the EXACT same audio settings, should I change them both?
