    is it possible to have one audio track (song) play under all menus in a dvd instead of having the same song start playing each time a different menu is selected? probably a stupid question, i’m new to encore dvd. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Not a stupid question at all.

    Unfortunately, the DVD specification does not allow for continuous audio between menus (or any other project element) in a DVD-Video project. So it’s not just Encore; no DVD authoring application can give you this option in a DVD-Video project.

    FYI: DVD-Audio does support continuous audio between menus.

    While we’re talking about audio and Encore I am trying to create a 5 channel discrete track in Audition but can’t find the right format to import it into Encore. Any suggestions?

    Thanks;

    Encore can only import 5.1 channel .ac3 (all Encore versions) or .dts (v2 only). It does not have a multichannel audio transcoder built-in, so it can’t transcode 5.1 audio; the audio must be transcoded already when it is imported into Encore.

    Audition doesn’t have a multichannel transcoder either, so even though it can output 5.1 channel .wav files, they are useless to Encore.

    PPro has a great 5.1 channel Dolby Digital transcoder plugin available – from Minnetonka. At the price Minnetonka is offering for PPro users, it is a really good deal. There are also multichannel transcoders available from companies like Nuendo at much higher prices.
