Creating a multi-language dvd

by nelsonj3 Jan 12, 2008 4:32PM PST

I have looked all over the internet for the answer to this and can't find a thing.

I am converting some PAL discs to NTSC and would like to have both the original language on the disc as well as the English dub. I normally use Windows DVD Maker for making DVDs, but it doesn't support creating multi audio track discs, that I know of. Does anybody have a solution for this? I am familiar with ripping discs to VOB files and can strip the two audio tracks out if I have to. I also know how to convert those VOBs into pure MPEG2 files. I have a feeling it will involve extracting the two audio tracks separately from the DVD, but I am lost after that.

Thanks

But once you get to MPEG files I can use Virtual Dub to split off the audio and then splice in a new audio file. Again I will not write how to do this.

After you create the MPEG file then DVD FLICK and other DVD creation software is used.

(NT) But how do I get the two audio streams onto the DVD?

I noted the quick solution.

For your more advanced method you'll need DVD authoring software. Pick a few passages from http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dvd+creation+selecting+audio+stream

"Bob,
I recently asked a question about authoring DVD's to which you told me to use DVD authoring software. When I asked for further help you gave me a link to Google. I would like to tell you that not only were your posts not helpful but they are condescending. If you know how to help me with my problem then help. If you don't know or are unwilling to provide the help don't bother posting just to tell me the same. Bob, every time I post I can count on the first few posts being from you and not helping. My posts aren't the only problem either. I am no longer surprised when searching the forums to find that you have posted a response that has nothing to do with the problem. Case in point; what does an RIAA lawsuit have to do with a PS3 being slow on the internet? That wasn't the point.

Why do you post? You have over 94,000 posts and not very many of them have been helpful. You once told me that if I wasn't going to take the advice of the people responding, I shouldn't post and waste everyone's time. I say the same to you. If you aren't going to offer help stop posting and wasting everyone's time. At least stop wasting time. I would appreciate you not responding to my posts anymore. You don't help. It seems like you are just trying to win the "Most Posts on CNET Forums" award.

I appreciate that you spend time trying to help, but you don't help. People post here because they don't know where else to go and want to ask someone who does know. You usually just tell them to go back and research some more. I would recommend you go back and rethink your philosophy on responding to posts.

Sincerely,
nelsonj3"

And my reply.

The answer is sometimes what people don't want to hear (or read.) What you are trying to do can be done with the method I noted for free but seemed to fail your exact goal. To get that you need DVD authoring software.

-> I can't be exact since you have yet to share the DVD authoring tools you are using. With members that don't make complete posts I have to give broad answers.

About the RIAA lawsuits and the PS3 I think you missed it. Insecure WIFI networks are used by those downloaders and since it's your connection you get the paper even if you didn't do the downloads. If you feel you don't need to know this, just move on.

If you feel that way about any member just ignore them. I'll say the same that you need to rethink your stance on free help systems. You didn't pay to get here and you didn't engage in your own discussion to find an answer. Your goal here is unclear as well.
