What is special about DVD Architect MPEG?
What is special about the DVD file (MPEG2) that is specifically required by DVD Architect?
Is there any way to load a standard DVD file, MPEG2 or .m2v, into DVDA?

Yes you can absolutely drag standard mpeg2 files into DVD Architect. As for what makes the DVD Architect mpeg2 different from normal mpeg2’s, I don’t really know. I used to think it embedded any chapter stop titles in the file itself which is why they’re incompatible with programs like DVD Studio, but I think that data might actually be in the .sfk file, in which case I don’t know why they’re special.
You have the same problem the other direction though. If you’re on a mac and make an m2v in Compressor with chapter stops, it will import fine into DVD Architect and preview fine, then when you go to build the disc it’ll give you an error right at the end. Someone posted a program called Restream back in 2007 that would truncate the chapter stop data in the file, but even that didn’t fix my problem. Sorry, I’ve veered far off-topic now.
