AVStoDVD stops working after encoding video

[tperkins13]

I've tried this with a few files now and have the same result. I've burned a few DVDs successfully in the past around a year or so ago. But now when I try to do this, it will encode the video in about 20 minutes, then says it is encoding audio, but nothing is actually happening. The clock on the AVStoDVD Progress Status window will continue counting but no other windows open up and nothing happens no matter how long I just let it sit there. No errors or anything like that, it simply doesn't do anything. I have no idea what could be wrong because like I said there's no error messages and it's worked fine in the past for me, but will not work at all now. I don't know a lot about the super technical side of all of this but if there's any chance anyone can give me some ideas and walk me through getting this fixed, I'd be extremely appreciative!!

For the record, here's an example of the log created.

FFmpeg seems to have hard times to demux the audio track from your input mkv.

Two possible solutions.

1. Use Mkvmerge GUI to remux the mkv, keeping only the video/audio tracks you need. Then feed AVStoDVD with the resulting new mkv.

or

2. Force AVStoDVD to re-encode the audio track, instead of copying it. Go to 'Edit Title'/'Audio' and toggle off 'Auto Audio Setup' and 'Keep DVD compliant audio'

Let me know
