Regarding the question of production of DVDs within the educational 
community, in part so as to include more audio tracks, the following 
blurb from a DVD newsletter might be of interest to members of the 
list. It shows typical pricing and features. Note that it is capable 
of only three language audio streams. And although "training" is 
mentioned, the educational market isn't even considered.

INTEC Introduces Its New DVDAuthorQUICK 

INTEC AMERICA reveals the latest addition to the pro-sumer market DVD 
authoring software, DVDAuthorQUICK Desktop, $2,500. The 
DVDAuthorQUICK line is DVD authoring software targeted for the 
"Non-Hollywood DVD market". This market produces DVD projects for 
corporate presentations, training, advertisement, family and special 
event video archiving, kiosk, and karaoke titles. Yet DVDAuthorQUICK 
is capable of creating most of the navigation structures of currently 
available commercial movie titles. 

DVDAuthorQUICK DeskTop inherits the intuitive user interface of 
DVDAuthorQUICK Pro which results in a reduced learning curve and 
increased productivity for DVD authoring. Capable of creating DVD 
projects with three language audio streams and three subtitle 
streams, DVDAuthorQUICK Desktop is a powerful tool at an affordable 
price.
