Can VideoStudio support audio channels when creating DVD?

I want to start by appologizing if this is a redundant question since all I could get back on searches today was a strange error code or it would crash my browser.

I am somewhat new to VideoStudio Pro X2 going on 3 months now and cannot seem to find anything on this. I am working on nature videos and wanted to try different audio channels when going to dvd. The dvd viewer could sellect the channel they want to listen to.
My thought is something along the lines of the different languages that production dvds have. say something like one channel is just ambient sounds. another has background music over ambient. maybe a third with commentary.

Is this possible and how would I accomplish it? If this has been discussed before could someone be kind enough to provide a link to that topic?

What you are referring to is called Split Tracks.

There is bound to be some work around other may know of but from my understanding this is not possible in what is essentially a consumer/pro-sumer product.

You might consider DVD Lab. The $130 USD version can make a DVD with 2 audio tracks, and the $250 version can make a DVD with 8 audio tracks.

I don't own DVD Lab, but whenever I'm ready to upgrade from DVD Workshop (no longer available), it's high on my list.

Thank you for the responses.

Yeah that's what I was hoping was not the case but it makes sense (even though the program has "Pro" in the title) it is a little short on some features.

I checked it out and it sounds like it will do the job quite well.
