I've tried two methods, and both have the identical failure. One was dragging an .mpg (with sound) to the Video/Audio tracks, and the other was using a prepared folder (AUDIO TS and VIDEO TS). Both previewed fine in DVDA, but after burning, they both stopped after ~6 seconds, on my player attached to my TV even though visually it looked like the DVD was written to. This is a single movie, no menus, etc. One thing is, there is a chapter flag on the timeline a few seconds into the project, but I can't tell if that is where it's exactly stopping.

I've seen a lot of talk on this forum about rendering the sound in .AC3 (I think) but when I did that, the file totally mushroomed in size to ~ 20 gig, and I couldn't compress it onto the DVD. I have my .mpg2 perfectly created...I just want to put it on a DVD!!! And hey, while we're at it, how can I output the best possible quality? The .mpg is 2.7gig
