Using SAP audio in movies
Some TV programs are broadcast with a main audio track plus a secondary audio program (SAP) track. Some DVD+VR recorders let you record both tracks (the main track is downmixed to mono and recorded on the left channel and the SAP track is recorded on the right channel). When working with assets imported from DVD+VR discs that have both main and SAP audio, you must choose which channel you want. If you don’t choose one channel or the other, both channels will be heard at the same time.
To select the desired audio channel:
To allow the viewer to listen to either channel on the DVD, you must put each channel into a different audio track.
To make both audio channels available to the viewer:
- After creating the movie using an asset that has SAP audio, drag the same asset onto an empty audio track in the Timeline window.
- When DVDit Pro tells you that you will replace the movie’s video, click the Yes button.
The audio appears in the track. The Timeline window should now have content in the video track and in two audio tracks.
- Choose Timeline > Audio Options. The Audio Options dialog box appears.
- For each audio track, choose a different channel from the Channel Options list. You should also set the language code for each track; see Setting audio and subtitle languages.
- Click the OK button.
