Is is possible to add an audio commentary?

My friends and I made a student film for a class we're taking. In addition to making the movie, we thought it would be cool to make some special features to the DVD. We're going to include deleted scenes and a behind the scenes documentary that one of my friends made.

We would like to make an audio commentary for the movie. I know we could record the commentary, lay it over the movie, and create it as a different movie on the DVD. I was wondering if there was anyway to record something in GarageBand an add it as a seperate audio track over the original video.

Thanks.

You mean like choosing a different language on commercial DVDs? I don't think iDVD can give you choice of selecting a given audio track.

iMovie makes this pretty easy......without DVDSP, I think this is the way to go.

simple. all you have to do is open quicktime pro, click on the new button in the top bar and click: "New Audio Recording." and when you're done recording the audio track, open iMovie, place the audio under the video with little video sound [reccomended: 15% sound on video remaining] save the video as copy and put it in iDVD in the Extras menu!
