Error: Invalid data was encountered...

The error message I'm getting is:

"Warning: An error occurred while rendering a file.
Invalid data was encountered while processing an mpeg file."

Now I'm trying to render on my PC in DVDA 4.5 .m2v files and .ac3 files that were rendered on a Mac using a high end encoder, but I get the above message with any and all files when I try to even prepare the project.

I couldn't find anything related on this forums archives, but a few other long dead threads I've found elsewhere seem to suggest DVDA probably doesn't like the files because they were rendered on a Mac.

The files all work perfectly, in play back.

If this is the case, is there any way I can 'fool' DVDA or get around it?

Thanks.

If you're using DVD Architect Studio (which I assume you are, since you're using version 4.5), you can't use m2v files as source files. It's not among the supported formats.

Damn.

Yeah, I'm using DVDA 4.5.

Anyone have any recommendations for DVD software that does?
