AVStoDVD muxing failure

[KKPHM]

Hello there,

Very new to the DVD authoring thing here. I've found that AVStoDVD is a great program, but without much video expertise I'm consistently at a loss on how to get it to work. Thanks to people on this forum and the creator of the program, I've gotten some help. But the latest issue I find is the inability to make .iso's for some projects. AVStoDVD seems to fail at the muxing stage. Here are the log files. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

[redwudz]

It may not have anything to do with it, but in this title, 'Mordum + Penance_0_Title_01_T Mordum.m2v' the '+' symbol seems a bad idea. I usually avoid mathmatical symbols, along with gramatical symbols like / - , . ? :, etc., in titles.

But someone else here may spot something more in the log.

[borax]

There is one 'real' warning:
WARNING - MPEG-2 Aspect Ratio Code 1 not allowed for DVD

MuxMan is quite picky about the compliance with the DVD spec. You can try to use DVDPatcher or similar to correct the aspect ratio.
See here:
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/mpeghdrs.html#seq

Only Aspect Ratio Code 2 or 3 is allowed for DVD

There are 2 issues

You should force AVStoDVD to re-encode title 1 because it has a DAR of 1.5, instead of 1.333 or 1.778. Next AVStoDVD release will check also DAR to verify DVD video compliance. Thanks borax for the clarification.


2.
The Menu background file C:\DOCUME~1\DJHAZ-~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Mordum + Penance_0_MenuPage1.bmp is NOT a DVD bckg file but a AviSynth error output picture (size 928x80).

BTW, KKPHM, you should have received the same warning when you were creating the DVD Menu, shouldn't you?

redwuk may have hit the point: using special chars is always a pain.


Rename your input file, force title 1 re-encoding (or use DVDPatcher to correct DAR), re-build your project and then retry.
