Which DVD render option?

Can someone explain the purposes of the different render options for mpeg2?

I intend to take the files into DVD Arctitect to finish the DVD. There are video only choices, video with audio, and host of others.

But there is no audio only. So, you have to go to advance render and do the PCM audio to go with the video.

Just a little confused.

The different options are available because some people might be doing something else with the end result other than using DVDA.

Since MS doesnt come with an AC3 encoder, as I understand it your only real choice to to go with PCM for audio.

Thanks for the info Scott.

I reseached some of the older threads and found this one that explains it pretty well.
