DVDA6 not writing menu audio to dvd

For some time now I've had an issue with DVDA6 PRO not successfully writing menu audio to dvd. The latest failure has a two page menu the first of which successfully plays the designated audio however switching to the second menu gets only a split second of the intended audio then silence. Switching back and forth does nothing to change the result. In preview mode pre burn everything works without a hitch it only goes pearshaped at burn time. the project is mainconcept mpeg2 with dolby pro audio the menu is two pages each with unique graphics and audio and the final project is circa 3.5Gb. Only the second page audio fails. Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

FWIW, DVD Architect 6 is notoriously problematic. It's only advantage is that it can produce 3D BluRay discs. If you're not creating a 3D Bluray, avoid version 6 like the plague.

Version 5 is much more stable and reliable.

I can't promise using version 5 will resolve your issues, but I can tell you from experience that whenever I've used version 6, I've had problems -- but this has virtually never been the case with version 5.

As an experiment, I'd try rebuilding the problematic part of your menu system in version 5 and see if you get the same results as you do in version 6.

Thanks Steve I just found a solution. I redid the export but only to folder not disk then using VLC I checked the folder and it loaded the menu pages just as in the preview, no problem so I burned from the folder to DVD and perfect copy it may be that going directly to DVD annoys DVDA6 so it messes up. Thanks anyway for the input but as it is I'm stuck with v6 as I dont have v5.
