How can Maestro take my da** audio without complaining ?!?!

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Ergh ! I'm making some audio the same length as the film for my DVD (this is in DVD Maestro) and I make the audio in Adobe Premiere, with the sample rate at 4800 or whatever the one Maestro takes is.

I export it, yay, and Maestro takes it. I drag it to the timeline, and then stick it there. Maestro takes it.

I hit compile, and when it gets to the film, VTS_01 it stops immediatly and gives me a max bitrate exceeded error. I deleted the Dolby Digital audio leaving only the regular and this audio, but it still wouldn't work. I tried all sorts of editing, downsampling, and other changesin CoolEdit 2000 with to avail, always the same... at VTS_01.

I don't want to encode my video (it's only 2GB from the original DVD so why bother) but if I can't get this solved I fear I might have to.

If anyone can tell me how I can get around this, please let me know.

the DVD spec takes PCM audio, but only at 16-bit 48khz, which takes up a hell of a lot of space on a dvd.

you'd be best to encode that wav to .ac3 or m2a.

I didn't think of that....

I can encode to AC3 but how do I encode to .m2a ??

Simplest is to use TmpegEnc

as sebus says, you can encode to a m2a with tmpgenc, but not all dvd players can playback .m2a (in usa/canada dvd players do not have to be able to decode m2a, in europe the have to. ac3 is a better format anyway.
