I re-encoded the movie with minimum bitrate 0, max 9800, avg 1800, added 2 audio and 2 subtitle tracks... what do i need to change?

Well, if the bitrate is too high in the video for even just one frame, this will make your total bitrate too high. If have lots of audio tracks or any DTS tracks (those usually have high bitrates), you'll need to set a lower max bitrate when encoding the video. This value may be slightly incorrect, but I'm pretty sure that the total bitrate (audio, video, and subs) needs to be less than 10.08 Mbps, and this is why Scenarist is giving you an error.

its telling you the m2v bitrate has hit 9.7mbit at a specific point, and combined with 2 audio tracks and 2 subtitles that would push it over. you will have to reencode the movie with a lower max (add the two bitrates of the audio together and subtract that from your current max)

Well, my problems gives the same response in Scenarist, but the nature is little bit different:
I encoded NTSC movie as Forced Film at 23.976 with max bitrate 9600. I have one audiostream 384 kit/s, so together they should not exceed maximum allowed, but after I did pulldown to video file, Scenarist complains about bitrate.
So my question is - does pulldown affects bitrate in encoded video file?
BTW. I viewed both videos (before and after pulldown) by Bitrate Viewer, and it gave me different results - in encoded file before pulldown max bitrate was not exceeding 7800, but in final one it was 9600 in some scenes.
So question 2: can I trust Bitrate Viewer results after pulldown (I saw somewhere in threads, that Bitrate Viewer gives wrong results for 3:2 pulldown files)? If that is true - is there another tool to test bitrate in encoded file before authoring?

Keep in mind that pulldown does nothing to the bitrate of the frames, it just forces telecine on it. However once done you can not see the exact bitrate of the m2v under bitrate viewer. Rempeg2 will still give you exact specifications though.
If you get total bitrate too high error in Scenarist better reencode methinks (maybe just use ifoedit to mux a simple movie but that does not tolerate our needs, does it?), because there "is" really sth. wrong if it is the Scenarist but not Spruceup, Maestro or any other...

murattttt. you saying DVDMaestro have the same bitrate telliong problem that bitrate wiever have? so efen if meastro reports to high bitrate, it can be ok?

[DIggedy]

When you use pulldown I think it resets the bitrate max flag as 9800, when I have this problem I just remember the max bitrate that I encoded it at and use Re-Stream to fix the bitrate flag (to 960000 in your case) and Scenarist accepts it fine.

[jacobjef]

Maestro will let the bitrate exceed max (how far exactly above it can go, i'm not too sure?). It'll warn you when your finished that this has happened, as mentioned earlier, if it's just a frame or two it will probably play just fine. However, some set-top players are like Scenarist, they don't do too well when they hit that one frame that's over, and that's when you'll start to see problems like skipping and pausing.
