    You need to apply to your clip an MPEG-2 preset to export the “m2v”, and an “aC3” (dolby) preset to get the audio. Then pair them in DVDSTP.
    You can get an “mpg” with embed audio (MP2). Look in the Extras tab.

    The Ac3 audio preset is in the same folder as the DVD preset, if you drag and drop the entire folder it applies both.

    Well, I’m not sure how the newest version of Compessor works, but for Final Cut Studio 2, you get three options for DVD’s. Every preset should give an option for “All”, I do believe. By selecting “All”, you are putting the .m2v and .ac3 presets on your batch.
