I have two dvds, with existing but broken menus, the audio buttons don't work properly. When I push these buttons, nothing happens, the player doesn't jump to the right audio track. I'm an absolutely beginner in dvd authoring, so when I tried to fix the problem with PgcEditor and DvdEditor, I haven't been succesful. What should I do?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Better to establish some general info first.
1. Are these disks 'Home Made' or commercial ?
2. Confirm that there are actually two audio tracks. Simplest way is load one main vob in to mediainfo and report back.
3. Your player. Is it a stand-alone dvd-player or a software one. If software, then name the player. -
1. These disks are commercial.
2. One of them has 3 audio tracks, but the corresponding buttons don't work in the menu, none of them. Another dvd has got a similar problem, I can't turn on the commentary track. It seems, that somebody tried to author the dvd beforehand, and made some mistakes.
3. I use Windows Media Player. -
3. Try play with another dvd player like vlc media player, mpchc or a commercial player like PowerDVD. Open dvd the dvd folder(video_Ts).
You could also try edit with DVDRemake Pro. -
Well if they are commercial they would not be 'broken' as you describe. Commercial means factory-pressed, case, artwork etc. If anyone has tampered with them they are no longer 'commercial'
Later versions of Windows Media Player can switch the audio from its own interface. Open the DVD Option Box at bottom of playback window. Select 'Special Features'/Audio. You should then be able to change the audio stream -

By your own admission you are a beginner. And editing dvd structures is not a task for a beginner.
More than that no one can give you absolute assistance since the .ifo file (which contains the commands) will be specific to the program that authored the dvd in the first place. All the pressing of a menu button does is to set some registers etc. which will then be read by commands before playback starts - you do not see a simple 'change audio to xxx'. What I can tell you is that SPRM 1 contains the current audio stream number.
All you can do is look at the commands for a audio button that does work and see if there is any logic to copy these commands to another button with appropriate variation.
If no button works, you have no chance with this approach. Re-authoring with simple programs will also not work since they do not normally build up the commands to switch audio (I may be wrong there since I have not tried) - you need to use more complex programs such as DVDLAB Pro. So if the player can do it then let the player do it. Stand-alones also allow for direct switching from the remote.
