DVD Author MPEG 1 Layer 3

I recently got a Digital Path Reciever for my home theater. It says it can only handle MPEG 1/Layer 3 audio and no other computer codec. It plays back the DVD's I burn on TMPGenc DVD Author without the audio. Is DVD Author producing audio in another format that MPEG 1/Layer 3? Anyway to switch it to this format so I can hear audio?

Let me clarrify what my problem is. I don't think I was clear. I use Tmpgenc 3.0 Xpress to convert my files from Windows Media Player into MPEG 2. Then I use TMPGenc DVD Autor to write the DVD files. I noticed tonight that when I pop one of these dvd's into the player which runs through my new reciever the reciever says MPEG and will not play the audio. It will play the video just fine. The burnt DVD's work fine on my PC and other DVD players in my house. Something is causing it to hang up with the reciever.

Last comment....DVD's I've been sent by others work just fine with the reciever. It has to be something I'm doing or one of the program settings.

MPEG 1/Layer 3 (aka mp3) is NOT legal audio for DVD.
You need to look what is the audio in the DVDs that play. In your DVDs I guess it is MPEG 1/Layer 2 (aka mp2), because this is what Tmpgenc 3.0 Xpress produces.

AC3 is the preferred audio codec for video-DVD audio stream.
