DVDit PE 2.5 works fine. Does SS have anything about this on their website?

Subject title says PE but your post says LE. Which have you got ?
PE supports 16:9 , LE doesn't.

If you have PE is DVDit giving you any error message or code ?

Sory for the mix up, I indeed have PE.
If you are able to get these two to work. Please tell me your settings for a 16:9 progressive scan mpeg2. At first i was having muxx problems. Now it wont use my mpeg2 files at all. I have the Pioneer DVDRw 104.

thanks and praise if anyone can help me out with this. Sonic support is ran by morons. And sonic solutions is no help either.

I don't use DVDit anymore (and never did with any VV3 output). I do remember it being very fussy about files it would accept & that they were correctly flagged. It will allow you to bring in .avi files & then output those as 16:9 as it will encode them as such, but whenever you bring in MPEG files it won't convert them at all or "flag" them up as 16:9, it's just accept or reject.

TMPGEnc always was pretty good at making the files acceptable to DVDit.

It's important to make sure you are correctly set up all the way through i.e. project settings for DV widescreen & then when rendering making sure that you have the "16:9 display" in the custom settings.

I seem to remember there was a "Bitrate Viewer" utility that allowed you to flag up MPEG files as 16:9 without having to re-encode. It was also usefull in that you could view bitrate graphs & quantization graphs for your Mpeg files, then alter them if they had become DVD illegal because of data spikes. It's $27 I think and you can get it here

Have a look at it's user guide on the link above.

I use DVDit PE, output to "Folder" which creates a file that I then burn using Nero 5.

Works with my 16:9 Mainconcepts MP2 files every time. I like you could not get DVDit PE to accept them by itself. Nero takes the Video file created by DVDit PE and burns great DVDs on the Pioneer A04.
