serious problem in dvd-lab pro

[schunn99]

hey all,

I having a problem,
I am making an anime disc that is 11 episodes long. But 6 episodes are in english and the other 5 are japanese with subtitles.
I had both english and japanese in audio track 1 and I went to compile and it gave me a warning that languages were not the same in the audio track. It told me to seperate them into 2 vts. So I did that. But now I cannot link the two vts's. I tried using vmg menus but they will only link to "normal" menus via the root menu and I need multiple links from the vmg menus in order to keep my other normal menus correctly.

here is an example of what I have been trying to do.
menu-> menu-> vmg-> two menus to seperate english and japanese episodes-> episodes scenes

main menu->dragonball 134,137-> dragonball z episodes-> english 190-194
->japanese 210,216-219-> scenes

will dvd players play a dvd that has two different languages in the same track?


thanks for any help,
sincerely,
schunn99

You can either

1. Look at bridging in the manual
2. Create a dummy (empty) AC3 file and add it as audio one on all Japanese audio clips, with the japenses audio in track two. Mark the empty track as English. Add it as track two on all English audio clips and mark it Japanese audio. You should now be able to compile all clips in a single VTS because all the audio matches. Many commercial disks use dummy audio tracks for this purpose.

I was thinking of doing your number two suggestion. but how do you make a dummy audio file?

besweet or ffmpeggui and a few seconds of dead air in a wav file should be enough. Just make sure you encode with the same number of channels as the matching audio tracks.
