Benefits of DVD Architect video stream over DVD NTSC Video Stream?
I was just wondering what, if any, benefits there would be for rendering a DVD Architect mpeg2 file over a standard DVD NTSC video stream for short projects with no chapter markers? More and more often I find my coworkers with DVD Studio Pro needing to import projects I’ve done, but of course the DVD Architect streams won’t work. I’m wondering why I don’t just use DVD NTSC stream m2v files which work in Architect and Studio Pro. Any reason?

The DVD Architect streams just guarantee that they won’t get re-rendered in DVD Architect. You can make other streams for your co-workers applications and as long as DVD Architect doesn’t tell you that it needs to re-encode it your should be fine. Otherwise I wouldn’t use a stream that’s going to get re-encoded because you will loose quality.

Just to follow up with this, I have been using regular DVD NTSC mpeg2’s for the past week and so far none of them have needed to be reencoded in dvd architect, and they all drop seamlessly into DVD Studio Pro as well. I’ll stick with this for all short projects that don’t require chapter stops.
