Authoring with Sony DVD Architect Pro 5.2

Post by FotherMucker99 »

So I've exported my *.m2v using the "Blu-ray 1920x1080-24p, 25 Mbps video stream" template in Sony Vegas Pro 10 which is suggested in the DVD Architect Help File. I didn't change one setting!!!
Video: 23,976 fps; 1920x1080 Progressive; YUV; 25 Mbps
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,000
Elementary Stream
Multifile

Exporting my ac3 file with 192kbps, stereo, 24bit and 48kHz (Dolby Digital AC-3 Studio).

The length of the audio and video is 20 seconds.

Only one menu in DVD Architect with only 1 button (play).

Project Properties in DVD Architect:

Here's how my project looks in DVD Architect:

I'm mounting the *.iso file in Daemon Tools Lite (newest version) and it automatically starts Power DVD 10, but Power DVD 10 says that the format of the disc is invalid and doesn't play back anything.
VLC plays only the video and doesn't show the menu at all...

What am I doing wrong?

Any help is much appreciated!


P.S: The only message I'm getting before finishing the project in DVD Architect is "The audio on track 1 of 'Untitled' will be recompressed." No errors whatsoever...

I'm not at home right now - so I can't check on my version - but if I'm not mistaken doesn't .m2v save JUST the video file? You would have to also save the AC3 PRO audio files as well.

What was the solution? Just incase one of us run into the problem in the future.

Yeah it looks like if you extract the image and play back the BDMV folder it works, but if it's mounted with Daemon Tools Lite it doesn't even open up (I get an error). Weird.

Tested with ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5.0.1.87 (even the menu plays just fine).

No one of my Blu-ray discs is playable in Powerd DVD, so just ignore it. In some cases it could means you hardware can not support Blu-ray discs.

maybe all your BDs comes from torrent sites...if you don't have empty folders on your disc, it this the reason why not play in Power DVD

No, it's totally ok and playable on any other soft player. So to be honest I just have no idea why is that happens.
