Maestro takes elementary streams. .MPV, .M2v and .mp2, .wav .ac3 so on and so on.

Maestro will not import a multiplexed file.

i dont really understand what that means but i have converted my file to mpeg 2 recently but it still says it wont support it is there something im doing wrong?

[disturbed1]

A multiplexed file is a file that includes both audio and video. A stream, is a file of just video or just audio.

MAESTRO DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTIPLEXED FILES

It's located in the manual and the help file for Maestro, and is in several guides here on this site.

Read some of the guides, and make a trip to the glossary and what is sections on this site. You had every setting for NTSC set, but you stated you wanted PAL.

Not a problem.

I'm refering you to the guides, because there is a bit of info for noobs and old pros too. Plus the people that write them spend an awfull lot of time and effort to put them together.

If you have any other questions, just post, and someone will be along to help.
