Multiplexing error using the film machine

[adidas36]

After encoding my movie in the film machine, I receive the following error message when it reaches the multiplexing stage.

Finished authoring DVD

Is this an issue with the software? I'm using version 1.61. Or is it because of the audio? I tried using DVD Lab pro to author it and the video came out but there was no sound.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

the max total bitrate is too high. audio plus video must be under 10mbps, some specs say 9.8mbps. and it's vbr video so there could be peaks over 12mbps. i'd redo the video to cbr 8mbps and try again.

[edit] almost forgot. dts is not allowed as the only audio stream. a dvd must have an ac-3 or pcm track.

I've reduced the bitrate and will encode it again and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks.

I get the same error when setting a lower bitrate. Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

[aedipuss]

did you try ac-3 for the audio? dts alone is not allowed per the dvd spec, and it requires a dts tuner to decode. 1536kbps is not usually used on dvd either, it's mostly 768kbps.
