MPEG2 encoding with Premiere pro.

[prism]

Hello all ,
Roughly , PP has two MPEG2 encoding main options.

1. MPEG2 - DVD: Creates 2 separated files ,video (.m2v) and audio.
2. MPEG2 - Generic : Creates 1 MPEG file .

If I intend to encode a project and Author it in the future ( I do not own yet a DVD burner), which option is better ?

Do Authoring programs can handle two separated files , one for video and the other for audio ?

Thanks,
Prism.

In fact ALL authoring programs behave their best when presented with separate audio and video files. These two files are known as elementary streams (*.m2v and *.ac3 or *.wav or *.mp2), and how they are muxed together to form the final *.vob can vary from project to project (should they be used in many different DVD-authoring projects). *.mpg is a playable file known as a program stream where the audio and video are already muxed into that one file and is best used for playing back that file on the PC, etc.
