| bitrate calculator for multiple audio? |

| Can anyone recommend a bitrate calculator for encoding M2v files for a DVD with multiple audio tracks? In VideoCalc, you can select the number of audio tracks but they have to be the same bitrate. |

| Just use the highest bit rate. Anybody who is trying to fill up a DVD to 99% or even 100% in use is not being smart. Many encoding programs actually overshoot by a little the values you tell them to use so if you use exactly what a bitrate calculator tells you to use, you will often end up with too much to fit on a single layer disc. Just calculate based on the highest value and live with it. Audio doesn't take up that much space anyway. If you use a value too high by a little, you'll just make sure that your final product fits on the DVD. And many recommend NOT going to the very end of the DVD as errors are a lot more likely to occur on the disc at the parts closest to the outer edge. |

| The bitrate calculator in Gordian Knot allows 2 audio tracks and you can set different bitrates for each. |

| Just add up the bitrate of all the audio tracks and call it one track. |

Before I got so many replies, I decided not to use the calculator and just get the bitrate by subtracting the total of the audio tracks from 9800. |
