TMPGEnc MPEG2 file won't play in Power DVD

[cpholmes]

I used TMPGEnc to encode an AVI file to MPEG2 to eventually burn to DVD. I followed the guide on this site except that I changed from CBR to 2pass.

When I try to play the MPEG file using Power DVD, I get the following error:

DVD Error
Error Code: 80070002
The system cannot find the file specified

Any ideas?

I believe you need to load your file into PowerDVD this way:

1) Enable File Mode (click the bottom button just to the left of round PLAY/FF/RW/PAUSE/STOP control)
2) Click Menu (L) button (bottom 3rd from right in the 12 button control panel)
3) Find you file so that you can see it upper right pane (if the file is on Desktop you need to select Desktop in your left pane)
4) Double click on the file in your upper right pane
5) Select it in your lower right pane and press OK
6) Press PLAY button

Thank you - It worked.

Which brings me to another question. Why don't my menus work? When I hit play, the menu shows up, but none of the chapter or next menu buttons are linked.

Is this something which will not work until I burn to DVD disc?
