[Bluesilo]

I have a M2v video file and Ac3 audio file....Workshop won't even see either file is it because it doesn't support it....I have Reeldvd as well but its extremely complicated and I just want something quick and appealing...can someone please tell me if theres anyway to get my M2v and Ac3 into Workshop...TIA

AFAIK, workshop requires you to multiplex the audio and video stream before importing. You can do this using TmpGenc mpeg tools simple multiplex option. It will multiplex your .m2v and .ac3 file into one .mpg file which workshop should then import.

Hi,
update your dvd workshop to ver 1.3 which now accepts elementary video and audio streams and you will be ok.

Yes, version 1.3 will accept elemental streams, but it won't accept .ac3 files (without the AC3 PowerPack) as audio. You will still have to multiplex these together (using TMPGEnc or other tool). Workshop will accept the resulting .mpg file and honor the AC3 audio.
