MPEG2 file from Cinema Craft Encoder not recognized

I encoded AVI file with CCE and DVD Architect won't import it. The file is actually 2 streams audio (.WAV) and video (.M2P)

Does this mean that I need to use MainConcept encoder instead in order to author DVDs ?

Yes, you must use Main Concept but if you create an AC3 movie you should not encode audio stream on Main Concept ( create separate with Vegas Video AC3 )

Well, this is really stupid then. Why would they limit it only to MainConcept ? Seems to me that SF will be losing a lot of potential buyers because of this.

I haven't been able to test this, but I don't think you have to use the MC codec. I think the important thing is that you need a program (muxed) stream, not an elementary stream. See page 15 of the manual.

Yes. You can import MPEGs from other sources. It sounds like you created an elementary stream (.m2v). DVD-A does not support video elementary streams.

Yes, you can use CCE video.

In order for DVDA to recognise the stream just use TMPGenc tools to multiplex the CCE video stream with a dummy audio steam (ie. give it no audio stream). This will create a MPG file with only the CCE video. DVDA will now load the MPG file, you can then change the audio to a seperate AC3 file.

I also agree.
I was disappointed at the ability not to use Mpeg2-ES. (-.-)
Please write to specification that "Mpeg2-ES cannot be used".
