Hi, i have some experience authoring dvds. Just simple dvds, (no selectable audio or subtitles). I used to work with Ulead DVD WorkShop, and i found it very very simple to use and fullfilled my needs.
Now im trying to make more professional dvd's, with selectable Audio and Subs, dont ask me why i could not do that with Ulead WorkShop (as you probably did), because i dont know.. i just could not, the program crashed everytime.
Anyways, im using DVDLab Pro now, and it seems im starting to understand how it works, BUT im having serious problems with the result. My DVD will not play normally once you access the movie, this will jump from 5 seconds to another 5 seconds. Im not sure what the problem could be.
1. I convert from AVI to m2v with Tmpgenc Plus
2. Separate wav from avi with Virtual Dub
3. Used Besweet to convert from wav to ac3
4. Import all in DVDLab Pro.
I have the feeling that the main problem is that im using m2v and ac3 separately, a week ago i made another project, where i imported mpegs to DVD Lab Pro, the program demultiplexed the file (Into m2v and mp2) and used them normally, and the dvd worked just fine. Or maybe i cant use AC3, i just dont know.
Please help!

Your method seems sound - could it be that the combined bitrate of A+V exceeds max DVD bitrate, or that your player doesn't support full bitrate?

Most DVD authoring prog require separate audio & video tracks, so wouldn't think that would be a problem. If you can play commercial (retail) DVDs, then that would eliminate any prob. playing ac3. If you can use PowerDVD (or other player) to play ac3 that you created on your PC, that would tend to eliminate your method of encoding as a problem. You might also try to use muxman to see if you can create a playable DVD -- that would narrow it down to your methods in DVD Lab Pro.

I've heard bad things about BeSweet. But some people have no problem with it.
Why not try it using the .WAV file to see if it works that way? Do you have room on the DVD for .WAV files?

UPDATE 2:
Ok, i made a 1 movie / 2 Audio /1 subtitle DVD, with no menu at all, just a fisrt screen menu that Starts the episode. I burned and play it on my dvd and everything went fine.
I have not made Audio and Subtitle menu yet, thats probably what im doing wrong. Or Maybe it is the Beesweet convertion (WAV TO AC3). I just imported my wav and let DVD Lab to transcode it to AC3, that might be the problem. So what im doing now is to a dvd with all the menu screens with the audios converted by DVD lab pro. That will hopefully work.
I will let you know guys. -
