Burn dvd with dual audio with menu option

[Alexander Kallas]

Do you want to make a data DVD or a playable DVD, for the later you will need to make an m2v file first.

You can do it in DVD Studio Pro on a Mac. Put multiple audio tracks on the disc and use a menu to select which one to play. DVDSP was EOL’ed some time ago, so I don’t think it will run on the last few versions of the MacOS. I keep a disc with Mountain Lion for running it on.
I’m sure there are multiple programs on the PC side that will do what you need, but since I don’t run Windows I can’t speak to the specifics.

I’ve used dual-audio tracks on a DVD created with Adobe Encore. Not sure if you can select audio from menu though, without having two copies of the video as well then.

The DVD player remote control will allow the user to select different audio on the DVD (if it exists) without using any menu on the DVD itself. So in Encore, I just used two separate audio tracks on the same Encore timeline, and then user is able to select secondary audio with their DVD player box remote. I only did this once, and it was several years ago.

The first thing is to be able to separate the English and Hindi audio tracks as individual audio files out of the .mkv source. There are a lot of freeware/shareware programs for PC that do that sort of thing. Perhaps “demuxing” software.

I use Adobe Premiere to edit. Using that, I would export the video clip as MPEG-2 DVD format, which is an .m2v file. Encore prefers audio as a separate file, so in your case two separate .wav files, one for each language. Then add the 3 clips to the Encore timeline (video, audio 1, and audio 2 tracks).

Not sure what software you might have access to, other packages may work differently.

Easy in DVDSP using “stories”. Make the menu point to the different story which includes the different language.
