  • Applying a different audio track in two menus using the same video in DVD Architect

    Posted by Michael Mish on October 15, 2010 at 1:33 pm

    The opening menu in my DVD Architect project has 2 submenu buttons:
    WITH NARRATION AND MUSIC
    MUSIC ONLY

    Because it’s a long program, I only want to use the mpg2 video once.

    The mpg2 project file has an ac3 associated with it of the same name. This one is WITH narration.

    An additional ac3 file has no narration.

    So, the 2nd menu is meant to have narration.
    The 3rd menu is mean to have no narration – music only.

    It seems that any time I change the audio track order in the respective time line, the order changes in the other one as well. I thought the two links to the video would remain the same in the way they referrance their respective audio track.

    Anyone know how to help with this
    Thanks

    First thing I would try is renaming the audio files so DVD Architect doesn’t automatically associate them (if this is how you imported them).

    Then the next thing I would do is download the DVD Architect Manual because it specifically mentions using different audio tracks:

    Good luck!

    Thanks for posting a reply.
    I DID, though finally, figure it out.

    It was in clicking on the file in the menu page and having the file point to Audio track 1, 2 or whatever.
    It took me 3 days to figure it out.

    But, thanks, again.
