DVDA RECOMPRESS

I've been using Vegas since 3 and DVDA since v1. Using Vegas 7e and DVDA 4, tonight I rendered an AC3 file and Mpeg2 file in DVDA as DVDA NTSC Video stream. When I go to burn the DVD, DVDA says the video is not in the proper format and wants to re-render. Any ideas why this is happening?

It could be that your DVDA project template properties do not match the source file.

For example, the template is set for PAL but the the source was rendered as NTSC.

Worth checking anyway.

Thanks but unfortunately that's not the case.

How long was the original video?

Only 22 minutes - so it wasn't too long.

Very weird :-(
Are you 100% certain that you chose the DVDA NTSC Video stream for your render template? Does the file have an mpg extension?
The reason I'm asking is that, if you slipped and chose a slightly different one, it might come out as an m2v file which would cause DVDA to say HUH??
Have you tried rendering it again to see if it was just a fluke render the first time around?
Have you burned a spindle of unused DVDs as a sacrifice?

Yes - yes -and yes. I agree it's very strange. Every time I have ever had this happen before it was "pilot error" and I had done something stupid, This time I've rendered 4 different time - twice last night and twice today with the same results. Just to be sure DVDA4 hadn't done something weird, I brought in another project which had been burned before and it burned fine with no re-render.
