4 - 2 channel audio on SVCD

[thxkid]

I have just found out with using NERO 5.5 it puts 4 -2 channel audio tracks you can use, my problem is how to you encode to those extra 3 - 2 channel audio tracks?
I would love to have music only and Director Commentary on my family home video's.

You can only put 2 stereo channels on a SVCD I believe.

If you are doing a DVD rip, all you have to do is to extract the extra audio track from the vobfiles, and then decode it to wav and encode it to MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio.

bbMPEG and the muxer in I-Author will allow you to add the extra audio track in.

Interestingly enough if SVCD supports only 2 stereo tracks....why I wonder my apex 703 when I hit the audio button shows 1/4, then 2/4, etc....maybe it is up to the player whether it supports more than 2 tracks.

I've wondered that too -- my player does the same thing (it's not an Apex though but another Chinese made DVD player).

SVCD definitely only supports 2 stereo channels in the specs... Perhaps one of the other putative standards (e.g., HQ-VCD, CVD, etc.) before SVCD specs were decided supported 4 audio tracks [speculative]??
