The DVD spec is exacting. And the Sonic authorcore (same as used= in the top end Scenarist and also in Encore) was unforgiving. And this cau= sed difficulty when importing assets that were not to spec.

=C2=A0

Som= e of the other authoring applications did not allow for keeping imported as= sets that were actually to spec. Or did not allow the un-multiplexed assets= (eg. m2v, wav, a3c) to be brought in separately.

It is important to und= erstand the difference between a Digital Video Disk and a Digital Versatile= Disk! The latter is simply a data store that is supported by most computer= s, the former is the original DVD format supported by dedicated players (an= d most computers).=C2=A0

You c= an store any data on the latter, including any digital video file, but whet= her it will play from the disk depends entirely on the device.

The former uses an Mpeg2 file format= ted in a very particular way (a VIDEO_TS file), such that the DVD will play= on any dedicated player. The problem in my experience is to find an applic= ation that will format supplied Mpeg2 file(s) without re-encoding the actua= l video and audio. This ensures that you maintain the best quality. It also= is going to be much quicker. I use an old free app called 'GUI for dvd= authoring' which still works fine for me on Win10. It will only accept = raw video & audio mpeg files, not multiplexed. Once it has formatted th= e DVD it uses Imageburn to create the physical disk.

Hope this helps.
