If your project includes subtitle tracks, choose the track you want as the default from the Set Subtitle pop-up menu.
The default setting, No Change, leaves the subtitle track as set in the DVD player.
The default setting for Set Audio and Set Subtitle is No Change, which leaves the audio track as set in the DVD player.
For example, if a viewer has a DVD player set to French, and a DVD has a track identified as French, the DVD player
chooses the French track automatically if No Change is selected.
Using buttons to play audio or subtitle tracks
It is best to provide a menu with buttons for selecting the audio and subtitle tracks, especially if you are using these
tracks for material that is not language specific. A menu ensures that the viewer can select the correct tracks for your
DVD. Audio and subtitle selection is a button property that you set along with the button's destination link. Although
you specify the tracks with the destination link, the track choices are a DVD-wide setting. After the viewer activates
the button, the track setting remains in effect for all subsequently viewed timelines, unless reset by the viewer. If no
matching track exists for a timeline, the DVD player switches to track 1.
You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.
For example, if you want the subtitle track selection to apply only to the destination timeline, you can set it either to
off (subtitle tracks only) or back to a specific track using the button's Override property. When the timeline ends, the
override setting resets the track.
You can indicate to the DVD viewer which audio track or subtitle is currently selected when the menu is displayed.
