Ye, the process reminds me couple of years ago trying to figure out the DVD to VCD process which back in those days required jumping through way too many hoops, but I finally figured it out by getting info from tons of sources and coming up with my own method of doing it :-)
As said, hats off, once you get this **tch completed, you probably have acquired more video conversion knowledge than most of the Average Joes ever will :-)

This actually sounds very similar to a problem I had with TMPGEnc when trying to encode XviD AVI to mpeg-2 for DVD. Basically, I had to manually select the "source range" from the project wizard, and set the start and end frames. Also note, with XviD you may need to go into the VFAPI tab on the options menu and move the DirectShow filter to the top of the priority list or you may get some program lockups / errors (pretty sure this is XviD only though). Good luck =)

video extracted!
audio extracted! :)
load up trusty old tmpgnc
point it to the video file
point it to the audio file
set all the settings
press start
windows alarms go off and I get this
"Index of scan line is out of range (320)"
I'm starting to feel like HAL from 2001 space odessy has posessed my computer!!!

I really really hate to ask this BUT I'M READY TO PULL MY HAIR OUT. Could you point me in the direction of a guide to show a novice (NOT a noobie anymore) how to frameserve with virtaldub or virtualdubmod to TMPGEnc?
Perturbed but not defeated Cern tightens his belt and prepares to journey once again into the convoluted bowels of this odd new world he has discovered. Convinced that there can be but few more obstacles in his way he reaches for a dram of scotch and prepares to journey ever deeper into this foul hell of encoding madness.

OK - I can handle the frameserving I think. Am I to understand that I should frameserve the video track that I created that has no audio? How do I go about adding the audio track back in?
I'm so close I can feel it!

Ye, feed the video without audio (well, frameserving doesn't even support audio) to TMPGEnc and add the audio (assuming you've encoded it already to MP2) to the ready MPEG-2 video after the video encoding by multiplexing the .mp2 (audio) and .m2v (video) files together with TMPGEnc's MPEG Tools (i.e. in the main TMPGEnc window, go to File menu and select MPEG Tools -- from that window, go to Simple Multiplexing and select both audio and video streams and click Start).

thanks very much guys - I'll begin the frameserving in about 2 hours before I leave for work and then report back at the end of the day!

can't give up --- I followed all your above instructions - muxxed the audio and video with TMPGEnc have one file now that shows no extension - file size is approx 1.7 gig - loaded it into sonicdvd to author and burn - it's STILL too large. Sonic says it requires 6.6 gig on dvd. I insured that when I used TMPGEnc I set it to 95% of disk capicity. I think I'm about to forget this entire thing

Now your problem is with SonicDVD -- if the file is 1.7GB, it takes 1.7GB on the DVD. See if there are ways in SonicDVD to say for it "don't re-encode the material" or try using some other DVD authoring tool, like IFOEdit (that we use in our AVI to DVD guide).

IFOEdit requires the audio and video to be in separate files, i.e. in demuxed form. If you deleted already the .m2v and .mp2 files, you can split your muxed file back to separate audio and video streams with TMPGEnc's MPEG Tools -- yep, you guessed it: Simple demultiplex.
