Error during Demuxing in DVDit!?!

[NeCo]

I used TMPGenc to reencode a movie to the specification below.

DVD NTSC (MPEG-2 720x480 23.976fps CBR 5500kbps, Layer-2 48000Hz 384kbps)

When I make up the project in DVDit SE it all goes well and it shows a disc space requirement of 4.53Gb. Everything works a treat until I try and make the DVD Folder.

It gets to the point where its Demuxing and the bar fills to about 20%. Then it comes up with an error saying-

'Build failed : Unknown error (DVDErr, -1)'

and it isn't possible to continue. If anyone has any experience of this or clues as to what may be the cause of the problem, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

Yeah, thats the DVDit I know and love... My advice, uninstall it, smash the disc into tiny little pieces, and get yourself a copy of Spruceup. Use that to author the title set, and then burn it with Nero. My dvd+r came with that piece of crap, and it almost made me return my wonderful drive. Ditch it, find real software, and you'll be much, much happier.

Hmmm, it seems like it must be a prob with the MPEG i'm using as SpruceUp gets 26% of the way through importing the file and then just hangs. Sounds similar to my experience with DVDit and I think the percentages are just too close to be coincidence.

If anyone has any ideas as to what might be up, I'd appreciate it.

HI Guys;
I got the same problem with this DVDit. I only managed to make one folder in a week test, Uhhhh I hate this program. The killer is when it blew up, it erase my avi. files with it. So I lost so many edited files.
Now I'm using Ulead DVD Authoring, it's menu is not as fancy as DVDit, but it works all the time, plus Ulead is much faster in creating DVD folder(only 1 hrs), Not like DVDit took10 hours to encode the 40 min mpeg2 file.

I assume your mpg has been converted to a dvd compliant stream. Use Tmpgenc to demux the streams into a m2v and mpa (or ac3 if the sound is in that format), and make sure they have the same name except for the file extension, tmpgenc will take care of that for you. Then import the m2v stream into Spruce. After the video is imported, Spruce will automatically import the audio as well. This tends to take care of most of the problems I have when importing an already muxed stream.

Sykochin, you managed to get a title set out of it at all? That's better than I ever did
