  1. Hey guys. I've been burning tv episodes to DVD's with DVD Lab. And when I tried to burn my third disc, halfway through the compiling process it says "authoring terminated" and stops compiling. Whats weird is I was able to burn two episode discs right before this error. The TV episodes were all batch converted with the same encoder and I used the same menu and menu audio.

    Here's the setup.
    I import them as .vob files then they are demuxed in DVD Lab.
    The menu I imported was originally a vob file. But DVD lab had to transcode it with a 2:3 pulldown before I would accept it. I assume this is some aspect ratio requirement.

    The episodes are 720X480 29.97fps NTSC .mpv
    The audio is all .mp2 stereo (the episode audio was .mpa but I transcoded it to make the files all the same format)

    Basically I was able to burn 2 discs with these formats then the third disc wouldn't even compile. No other changes. Its beyond infuriating. But I've tried about 8 authoring programs and DVD lab is the only one that's worked. All the others have some random error or problem.

  2. damn I just realized I posted this in Blu-ray not DVD. The episodes were originally 720p but I down converted them after wasting hours trying to get them them to play on a DVD on my blu ray player

    Moving you to our dvd section.

    You could try demux the dvd vobs with pgcdemux, then import the separate video/audio files in dvd-lab and see if it works any better.

    not knowing how or even why you converted 720p video to vobs limits what anyone can say to help with dvdlab. i'd guess you messed up the third dvd.

    if you want to try to keep it in 720p you might give multiavchd a try. or even converting to mkv and burning it as a file on a dvd might allow your player to use it.
