Hi!
I captured some Program Streams from digital DVB-S. They include the video and 2 audio tracks, one of them is dolby digital.
My question is: can I use Video Studio to burn this Program stream to DVD without rerendering the video and audio tracks and without loosing the 2 audio tracks?
Regards,
Peter

I think it has to be re-coded. I believe the peak DVB bitrate usually exceeds the DVD bitrate limit (about 10,000 kbps), and the resolution may not be DVD-compliant either. (It's my understanding that DVB is more flexible than DVD, and you may run-into format variations on different channels, different systems, and maybe on differernt programs.)
What are the properties of your DVB files? There is a chart on this page with (most of) the DVD format requirements/restrictions.
Video Studio really only supports one audio track. I don't know if there is a way to "sneak in" an addtional track. Higher-end DVD authoring programs like DVD Workshop or DVD Lab can create DVDs with more than one audio track, but you still might need a 3rd-party tool to demultiplex the individual tracks from the combined A/V file first.

Audio tracks / Bitrate
Thank you for your input! If I use e.g. PrijectX to demultiplex my recording, is DVD Workshop able to use these files (m2v video, mp2 audio stream, ac3 dolby for authoring?
The bitrate of DVB-S may be a problem, but I don't think it's really used... If I display the transfer bitrates of my satellite receiver, they usually are about 6-8 Mb/s. The question is what occurs if during playback of a not recompressed DVD the bitrate exceeds the maximum of ~9600 kb/s... My latest recordings are DVD-compatible in resolution (720x576).
How does the Ulead encoder work when reencoding a mpeg stream? Say, this stream has a vbr which mostly is about 6-8 Mb/s. When encoding, I set the DVD-preferences to the maximum vbr of 9600 kb/s. Now does the encoder reencode the whole video stream or only these parts of the stream which exceed the maximum vbr?
Greetings,
Peter
