I love using Gui for dvdauthor since it's a very simple way to author a DVD. I hadn't used it in several months however because lawschool has taken up all my time. Last night I upgraded it to the .96 version and then used it to author a couple of episodes of House onto dvd.

I used 352 x 480 for video and mp2 audio. The files were converted from Divx using TMPegnc 2.5+ and then demultiplexed using PVstrumento.

Everything took fine. I could not use the whole mpg files because dvdauthor stated there were problems with the timecode, so I added in the demultiplex step.

I authored the DVD and then burned it to a + disc. I put it in my current standalone which is an ILO 04 recorder equipped with the latest firmware. It would not show the menu. After pressing menu and top menu a couple of times, the first episode started to play. I could chapter skip to the end of the first episode, but I could not get the 2nd episode to play. It quit at the end of the first episode.

I took the disc out and put it in my computer and the menu played correctly on PowerDVD. Thinking it might be the disc I burned it to a - disc and put it in the ILO and got the same thing- no menu only 1st ep playing.

Does anyone know why? Could it have something to do with burning using semi-compliant mp layer II audio instead of adding yet another step to convert to ac3? I used to get odd results with DVDs using mp2 audio on my prior DVD player.

Thanks for your help!
