"audio file rendering" how to avoid?

Why does DVD Architect need to "rerender" the audio portions of my dvd production?

this is a sample of the list of "errors" i get.
[i] The audio of DV.MP2 will be compressed

I am trying out DVD Architect 1.0 and have created a basic DVD with a bunch of recent DV.AVI files.
I use Canopus Procoder to create the *.MP2 files which seem to work fine when I am authoring the DVD but when it comes to burning the disk DVD Architect gives the same "problem" for all my *.MP2 files.

The audio needs to get rerendered.

Inside Procoder it will not let me change the sample rate from 48.000khz to anything else. I wonder if this is the problem? Shouldn't it be 44khz? or should I be rendering out as seperate audio/video files?

In short, how can I get DVD Architect to use the files I've supplied, or how do I get Canopus Procoder to create files that DVD Architect doesn't need to rerender?

A number of other attributes can vary. Yet DVDA supports PCM.wav, 2.0.AC3 and 5.1.AC3. Other formats are recognised but need rendering.

So MPEG1-layer2 audio needs to be rendered.
If you came across from Vegas4 then to procoder, you should be able to just take the WAV or 2.0.ac3 from Vegas4.

PAL region DVD players support AC3 AFAIK. NTSC support the above but officially MPEG1-L2 is optional. DVD WorkShop (until recently) did things the other way around which was nice for PAL. MPEG1-L2 is fine, but you have paid rge Dolby duty to use AC3.... so....
