Yeah, read the manual, helpfile, or Doom9's guide. In a nutshell, you've imported your .m2v but you haven't actually done any authoring with it in Maestro! Look at the hieracrchical tree diagram in the top left of Maestro, and double click on "Movie 1". Now you should see a timeline appear in Maestro's MAIN window. Simply drag your .m2v from the assets bin into Track1 on the timeline. Then add an audio file beneath it, in the audio 1 track (if you have audio - if you don't, then don't worry about this step).

Now look at the hierarchical tree again. Just to be lazy for the timebeing, you can make a DVD which has no menu and simply autoplays your video file. To do this, just highlight (single left-mouseclick) "Menu1" in the hieracrchical tree diagram, and press the "delete" key on your keyboard. Now highlight the very very top of the hieracrchical tree diagram, where it says "untitled1.dvd project". Then look just beneath your timeline main window, and find the tab that says "connections". Select it, and you can tell Maestro how you want your disk to behave. You will see that the connections window is split into three parts - top left, top right, and bottom. You can drag any relevant options from the bottom part of the connections screen up to the top right of the screen, so that the item you dragged from the bottom is then related to the description adjacent to it, in the top left. Remember that you do #not necessarily# need to fill in all the empty fields! If you are unsure,about any fields, just leave them blank. There is nothing to worry about because if you try to compile a project and Maestro notices that you have missed a connection, it will give you a detailed warning message, so you can go back, fix connection, and then recompile. When you finally get a successful compile, with no significant error messages, you can write the Video_TS folder Maestro just compiled (inlcuding it's contents! lol) to your DVD-R using UDF-ISO Bridge mode (using Nero, for instance).

Thank you very much for you'r help! Now i understand a little better. But if i want no menus can't i just dag the audio and video file to the timeline ? Cuz i tried this and it worked it's just that i get a little sync or what's it called, the sound comes after the movie. And if i add the video_ts.ifo to powerdvd to try if it works i it can't play the movie but it can play the 2 .vob files, why ?
As you see i'm a noob on this. //Carl
