I think DVD studio pro could do that, alas no longer in development. You will have to find a "used" copy (ha ha).
The other consideration is that the bandwidth for DVD spec (8Mbps or whatever) cannot be exceeded by all the angles put together - that is, besides what fits on a disc, you have to consider that the playhead is reading both angles at once even if it is only showing one. Therefore, two streams would be something like half quality, three streams would be 1/3 quality. The principle is the same as "audio commentary" track - You have the film's soundtrack, plus maybe another language version, and then the audio commentaries, all muxed together as an Mpeg-2 stream. Thus the total of all these things put together can't exceed the DVD bandwidth spec. Otherwise your player will stutter or choke. Older DVD players choked even on stuff that was at the high end of the spec until everyone got the bugs worked out. I mean if you have a 2 minute doc, you'd think you could use all 4.37 Gb on the disc and thus have two high-quality, less-compressed angles... but no, the video + audio of all streams together can't exceed 8 Mbps. When you encode the video to DVD you'd get the choice of bitrate, so you'd have to pick 4Mbps or even 3.8 maybe. Might look okay, depending on what you shoot - lots of moving camera, big crowds, etc, might tax the spec. If it's punk enough, who cares? Maybe you could do this better on BluRay or HD-DVD, giving you more quality to work from - it would look like low quality BluRay rather than crappy-quality DVD, which would be an improvement. - Flick _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
