Do your encoded videos have the correct sound format for DVD?

Video
Click File, properties, check project video format (PAL or NTSC).
When converting a clip to mpeg2 ensure you select DVD-compliant output format. No matter how carefull you are in setting bitrate and resolution, an mpeg2 file is not necessarily DVD-compliant. Some DVD authoring tools may accept it, others not. For instance earlier versions of tmpgenc do not produce DVD-compliant mpg files; tmpgenc DVD author does not accept them even for reencoding.
Sound
If not AC3 or wav, it will be converted.
"Optimize DVD" window reports what is going to be done.
