Making a DVD with Commentary track, please help!!!

[thete]

Hi

I'm at my whits end here! I have been trying to make a DVD with a commentary track. I have followed the helpful guides on the forum (using DVDLab and ifoedit) but all I get at the end if a DVd which plays greaton a software DVD player, but once you put it into a normal one, you see the Play highlight come up (not even the actually menu) and the DVD player seems to crash!

I thin tried DVD author, and that wants just one audio track, but with it split into two mono track, one with the normal audio, and one with the Audio, which is a bit crap, as I;d like to keep them both stereo if possible!

I downloaded the trial of Encore, but just ran away after not havign the first idea of how to even get started, even though it did seem to havethe features I want (is there a tutoiral for this, can;t seem to find one)!

I am really close to giving up, but I would really like to get this done, as it would be a great feature in wedding DVDs. If anyone could tell me how to do this, and using DVDLab would be great, as I love the way you can have menu transitions! But at the moment, anything would do!

Please can you help, sorry for beign a bit thick here, biut I;m usualy not bad with these thigns, but I just can;t get it to work!

Thank you!

Which IfoEdit guide did you use?

DVD-lab, Ulead Movie Factory (& Workshop?), Sonic MyDVD, & TMPGEnc DVD-Author are DVD authoring programs that allow you to submit to them only ONE audio track. If you want commentary then you necessarily have two audio tracks (main and commentary) and for that you HAVE to use full-fledge packages like Sonic ReelDVD and Adobe Encore (both of which feature the maximum number of audio tracks allowed on DVDs which is 8). Sorry you just can't run away. You simply have to start climbing Encore's (very?) steep learning curve. IFOedit (in several versions) is even more cryptic for beginners. It has a simple DVD authoring feature (no menus?) where you can indeed submit more than one audio track but you first have to assemble, edit, and encode these AV assets somewhere first (Premiere?).
