Is it possible to have different audio soundtrack sources for a user to select on a menu?

Hi friends, I make concert videos from compiled YouTube clips. Many times there are two different audio soundtracks I can choose to use, however, I seem to only be allowed to have one soundtrack on the finished product. Does PowerDirector 16 have this option for me to have two audio tracks, and a user can choose in a menu which one they want?

I can't find this topic anywhere, thanks

Hi Midimannz -

It's possible, but maybe not what you might think.

The only way (I know) to do that on a disc with a menu is:

Build 2 separate PDR projects, each with the 2 alternate soundtracks (even though the visuals may be the same)

Produce each project to your desired format - depending whether it's BR or DVD

So now you have 2 separate videos (titles)

Open a new project for your disc preparation & burning

In Create Disc, import the 2 produced titles

Select/make a menu with 2 buttons

Uncheck "Include Root Menu"

For Playback Mode, check "Play the Selected Title only" (screenshot attached)

With that setup, the viewer can select which audio track(s) to listen to.

Cheers - Tony
