Hello,
I am trying to create a decent test DVD with various sound tracks (DTS, DD) for testing when I go HT shopping. I'm using the movie wizard. I was trying to select tracks from Gladiator, 5th Element and Galaxy quest. When I create the DVD, using Video Studio Plus 10 with patch, it only has one sound track. Is there an easy way to create it with more than one track without creating a new scene?
Also, I thought that the 16x9 opener for Studio don't show this again was for the 16x9 but it eliminates the choice of going directly to movie wizard, how do I get it back?
Thanks

You might be better-off bringing the original DVDs with you....
You'll need a more advanced DVD authoring application. DVD Workshop Express can make a DVD with two soundtracks, and the full version can make one with eight soundtracks.
However, I've never tried making or using a DTS track, so I don't know if Workshop can import it. And, you will need a tool for "ripping" the soundtracks off of your commercial DVDs. (That may be a copyright violation, depending on where you live. I think it's OK in the U.S., because the sountracks are not encrypted and you don't need any illegal "cracking" tools.)
From what I've read, it's difficult to compare Dolby and DTS unless you are careful to use the same mix and the same bitrates (i.e. you need to encode the audio yourself). Apparently, some "real movies" sound better in Dolby, and some sound better in DTS.

Go to Preferances (F6), then on the General Tab, you will find Show Start up Screen, put a check in the box beside it..boe wrote:Also, I thought that the 16x9 opener for Studio don't show this again was for the 16x9 but it eliminates the choice of going directly to movie wizard, how do I get it back?

Thanks - I gave factory a try - no luck.DVDDoug wrote:You might be better-off bringing the original DVDs with you....
I hate to bring the original as I have an extremely bad memory and tend to forget things - plus I'd love to just leave one in the car.
I'm getting close with DVDremake - I just need a decent program to create a nice menu and leave the audio formats.
