In order to effectively complete this tutorial, you will need prior knowledge on how DVDRemaster can be used to convert a DVD so it can be viewed on video players such as iPod, iPhone or Apple TV. If required, you can refer to the Converting a DVD for iPod or iPhone tutorial.

Preserving multiple audio tracks

First, make sure you are in the export mode to convert a DVD so it can be watched on video players such as iPod, iPhone or Apple TV. This can be achieved by simply by selecting the Export tab. Then, to access the advanced audio options click in the Audio column of the track for which you wish to select a language and choose Advanced... from the drop-down list.

The advanced audio options window will appears. In this window you can select the languages you wish to keep. You can select as many as eight languages. You can also choose to Recode to change the format or to Pass-through which keeps the original format. Once you have completed your selection, click on the Done button.

Preserving surround sound

In order to keep the high-quality surround sound, you must select Pass-through when choosing each language. This way, the original format of the track is preserved. Note that you must initially have a surround sound track and also use a video player compatible with surround sound in order to enjoy it.
