I'm currently looking to transfer an old VHS movie that myself and a few friends made in high school to DVD. I have a video capture device and authoring software, but the software that came with it is lacking one important option: being able to add a second optional audio track. I want to be able to have the viewers choose to watch the movie as is or with my horrible commentary.
If anyone knows of a good (i.e free or very cheap) authoring program that allows this, please reply in this thread.
Also, if said program allows other options like "Special features" (i.e. Cast and Crew info, etc.), that would be a welcome bonus.

I'm running Macs here, and when I did my DVD, I couldn't find anything cheap that would allow for a secondary audio track. I'm sure there's a cheapy windows program out there somewhere though...

If you're running a Mac the best program for you would be Final Cut Pro......I'm not sure if they make a windows equivalent for it, I'm assuming that they do. I dont know the exact price but I'm pretty sure its not too cheap.

For PC video editing where I work, we use Adobe Premiere. I believe that it allows you to add that additional track. Of course this program is not very cheap so this was probably just a wasted post. I don't know of any video editing software that is free that would allow you to perform the actions you want. I wish you the best of luck though.

adobe encore is the best DVD software avalible. it allows you to create interactive flash style menus upto 4 audio tracks and allows you to add any special feature you want by simply linking video clips to play at the press of menu buttons. however it is pricey. (of course a few people would break the law and use a program such as bit torrent and a torrent search site such as torrentspy to get it for free. which is somthing i would never condone)

I think the key here was "cheap". Sure, I'd love to have Final Cut, but sheesh - that's rather pricey!

Yep, Adobe Premiere does allow you to add additional audio tracks. As you said, it isn't cheap, but I believe there's a stripped down version called Adobe Premiere Elements which is less expensive, I think the multiple audio track thing is in there too. |
