  2. mp3 is not part of the DVD spec. If you use mp3 for audio, it violates the DVD spec and chances are your DVD player won't recognize it.

    To be playable on most players, a DVD must adhere to the DVD ROM booktype with 1.0.2 UDF.

    The following types of audio and video are part of the official plain vanilla DVD spec:

    mpeg-1 (VCD) 352 x 240 1150 kbits CBR mpeg-1 layer 2 audio 44 khz

    mpeg-2 half D1 352 x 480 (any CBR or VBR within 2kbits min to 9 kbits max) mpeg-1 layer 2 audio 48 khz OR Dolby AC3 OR WAV file

    mpeg-2 CCIR 601 704 x 480 (ditto for above CBR/VBR, audio specs)

    mpeg-2 full D1 720 x 480 (ditto for above CBR/VBR, audio specs)

    Any other video or audio format is not part of the official plain vanilla DVD video spec and will often not be supported for playback on a standalone player. Depending on the player, you might or might not get lucky with non-supported but unofficially widely used formats like SVCD.

    A very few standalone DVD players support playback of raw MPEG-2 or MPEG-1 or Divx files but's nowhere in the official DVD video spec. Individual mfrs support that at their whim.

  3. look at the settings, something is wrong, either the system (pal or ntsc), either the mpeg2 settings.

    don;t matter if the audio is mp3 wav or anything else, it re-converts it anyway.

    if you converted the files with other soft, make sure it's dvd complliant for the system you use.

    just play with it, it's hard to say what the problem is.
