The problem was that I couldn’t find the corrupt file. And I figured out why. There was more than one “corrupt” file. I’ve been putting together a demo DVD so it’s got lots of little clips on it, and it was like finding three needles in a haystack. I finally found them, though. The first was a VOB file from a previous DVD project that DVDA didn’t like. Converted it to mpg and that video object finally built. The second and third were two m2v files that I think were rendered on a mac with accompanying aiff files. Converted those to MPG as well and everything is dandy.
Isn’t it interesting that as soon as somebody asks for help they find the solution? 🙂 Now if only I can figure out why DVDA crashes the second I try to burn it! Something to do with the sfs4rw.dll file.
