You can't. TDA 1.6 only supports 1-audio track. You need to use another authoring app to do this. I think the latest version TDA support 2-audio tracks.

EDIT: strike that ... I went the TDA website and 3.0 supports 2 subtitles but I didn't see anything about it supporting more that 1 audio track.

And, TDA 2.0 only supports one ...

does 2.0 support it?

ive tried that too but it doesnt work with more than 1 track.
DVDLab works cool but when i put on a lot of VTS it will say out of memory. so im stuck.

I use TDA 1.6, but a quick look at the DVDlab site shows that DVDlab studio supports 2 audio steams. They offer a free 30-day trial. I'm not sure it that's a fully functional version or a limited trial version.

Wow ... you're post was 1-minute ahead mine on DVDlab.

I'm not that familar with any other authoring packages beyond TDA and DVDlab. I'm sure others here will have additional suggestions.

TDA3 supports both 2 subtitle tracks and 2 audio tracks, both are switchable, and many of the included templates offer automatic creation of a "Setup" menu page that lets you select your audio and subtitle tracks. Works very well.

Author your DVD with TDA, then replace the VTS_0x_x.VOB TDA created (only the VTS that contain that movie) with the matching 2 audio originals.

DO NOT REPLACE the VTS_0x_0.VOB, that one contains the nice menu you spent so much time making with TDA.

i.e. If your original VOBs were VTS_04_0.VOB-VTS_04_5.VOB and TDA made VTS_02_0.VOB-VTS_02_5.VOB, then you would rename VTS_04_1.VOB to VTS_02_1.VOB... But not replace VTS_02_0.VOB and the IFO and BUP files.

Then use Ifoedit to re-align the VIDEO_TS.IFO and VTS_02_0.IFO with the VOB using the "Menu Extras" and "Get VTS sectors" buttons. Check this for more:

Make copies of all the files before you start.

I have TSUNAMI-MPEG DVD Author PRO 2.1.5.77 & TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring & they both supprt 2 audio channels/tracks.

I believe they went to two audio tracks the first version of TDA 2.
But i use DLP pro as it supports many audio tracks as well as DTS.
