    Hi,
    I’m looking for a way to create a very simple DVD project with bilingual audio.
    There are no subtitles or chapters or any other options.
    I have MPEG2 file and two audio tracks in two different languages.
    On the menu I just want to have two options “French” and “English”
    So how do I trigger different audio options with the same video file.
    Are there some templates available for this task?
    What would be the simplest authoring software (simpler the Architect) to accomplish this goal?
    Needless to say I’m a total newbie
    Thank you
    Eric

    A dual language DVD is very simpel in DVDA:

    Open DVDA
    Drag your videofile from the explorer to the Overview window and place it above the ‘menu 1’ folder
    Double click on the video file. It will appear in the timeline.
    Drag audio file 1 to the audio track.
    Click on the + sign above the timeline to insert a second audio track (up to 8 tracks are allowed)
    Drag your second audio file to this new audio track.
    Choose languages for each audio track from the puldown menu in the trackheader of the audio tracks.

    From the toolbar choose INSERT and EMPTY BUTTON
    In the BUTTON PROPERTIES WINDOW choose ACTION and for COMMAND: LINK, for DESTINATION choose fom the pulldown menu the video file.
    Choose for SET AUDIO TRACK one of your languages.
    Repeat for the other language.
    Select each button in the preview window and go the the BUTTON PROPERTIES window-BUTTON STYLE to be able to add some text and/or graphics to the buttons
    Finish your menu with a background, background music etc. as usual.
    Good luck.
