If you drag a video clip to the stream, and the “Find matching audio when dragging”

preference setting is enabled: The audio in the A1 stream is trimmed or moved to
accommodate the new video clip, even if that clip does not have matching audio. This
maintains sync between the track’s existing video and audio clips.

Audio Clips

Because audio clips can be placed anywhere in their audio streams, the results are different
from those you get when working with video clips.

If you drag an audio clip to any open area within an audio stream: The clip is placed there.

If the open area is not long enough to hold the whole clip, the clip’s end is trimmed
so that it will fit. Unlike video clips, audio clips do not move unless you move them
intentionally.

Setting Stream Properties

Each stream has a few settings you can use while configuring it.

Click to lock the stream,
preventing inadvertent
changes to it.

Choose a language
to assign to each audio
and subtitle stream.

Click to choose one
video, audio, and subtitle
stream to play in the
Viewer tab.

Each stream has a button at the far-left side of the Track tab that you can click to enable
that stream when you play the track in the Viewer tab. You can choose one video, and
optionally, one audio and one subtitle stream.

Each audio and subtitle stream in a track can have a language assigned to it. When the
track plays, it can select a stream based on the DVD player’s language setting. If no suitable
stream is found, the player plays the first stream.

Note: The Languages area of the Outline tab and the Add Language icon in the toolbar
are used when creating multiple-language menus and are not used by the Track Editor.
