    I'm capturing new He-Man(2002) episodes from German TV so I can put them on DVD, and I would like to include the English soundtrack BUT the episodes from Cartoon Network are shorter than German because of that stupid moral lecture at the end (20-30 sec.).

    Is there a way to authore it with Maestro so I will be able to select english language from a point in menu at which DVD player will play the choosen episode to the point where the moral lecture starts and then skip it to the outro?

    Sorry for my bad english

    Yes, you could with the ParentalRatings organizational style, or with seamless branching, but that seems like overkill.
    What I would do would be to put the Deutsch audio and the English audio both into a multi-track audio editor (choose your own fav), line them up for syncing (temporarily pan 1 to Left and the other to Right to review), copy the segment of the Deutsch that you like over to the English that you don't or replace the English segment with silence, then export the english track to the same length as the Deutsch.
    Then you could author as simple multiple language tracks.

    HTH,
    Scott

    The easy way (insert silence) is my last option.
    Is it possible to do a playlist in maestro which will act like this:
    Play episode with locked english-audio track to the "moral lecture" chapter - skip that chapter - continue with the last "outro" chapter?

    Yes, you just have to remember to mark those points as chapters, and you have to set the connections right so that when the dvd plays, it uses the playlist and not the movie itself.
