I followed all your instructions Mike but when DVD Architect got to the point of writing the DVD, the same message came up.

“An error occured while writing a file. The VOB file is too big for it’s type.”

When I look in the prepare folder I find this data:

VIDEO_TS.VOB 232 KB VOB File
VTS_01_0.VOB 1,024,000 KB VOB File

Any ideas?

Sorry, here’s the bitrate:

9,500,000 Max
6,000,000 Average
192,000 Minimum

Should I change any of these?

The project is 01:18:16:10.
I encoded it by using the custom template:
DVD Architect NTSC Video Stream.
Video rendering quality: Best
Variable bit rate- 2 pass
Audio saved as Dolby Digital AC-3 Pro

You’re welcome Josh and I’m glad you got the thread going. I feel more confident about how to encode for the best results now.

Got it! Many thanks for the help.

Best regards!

Thanks Mike,
One more question. When I make the first MPEG-2 render, should I mute the audio so only the video file is rendered?

[Diane Sosnoski]

How and when should one render the audio files as AC3? My projects in Vegas are AVI and WAV files. To prepare them for DVD Architect, I render the timeline as Main Concept MPEG2. When I “Make DVD” in Architect and choose optimize DVD, the audio files need recompression to be rendered as AC3. Is this correct or should the audio be rendered as AC3 prior to bringing into DVD Architect?

I decreased the video accelleration as you suggested and it made a huge difference. Thanks very much!

Gary,
Thanks very much. I’d forgotten about track motion. I set it up as you described and it’s perfect. Next challenge is setting up to an external monitor.
