If you’re using the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in software, use the DVD Architect NTSC video stream or DVD Architect 24p NTSC video stream template to render your video stream. You’ll need to render your audio stream separately according to the parameters listed in the AC-3 audio or PCM audio headings in this help topic.
If you’re rendering with a different application, the following settings will produce a compliant NTSC MPEG-2 video stream.

The MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in renders with the Low Delay flag turned off. If you’re rendering with a different encoder, ensure Low Delay is turned off.
If you’re using the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in software, use the DVD Architect PAL video stream or DVD Architect PAL Widescreen video stream template to render your video stream. You’ll need to render your audio stream separately according to the parameters listed in the AC-3 audio or PCM audio headings in this help topic.
If you’re rendering with a different application, the following settings will produce a compliant PAL MPEG-2 video stream.

Before You Get Started: Preparing Your Files |
|
If you have DVD Architect software, you can avoid unnecessary transcoding or recompression by using to render your media files in the appropriate formats prior adding them to your DVD Architect project.
The Sony Creative Software Inc. AC-3 and MainConcept MPEG-2 encoders provide templates that will produce files that do not require recompression (unless the file size is too large to fit on a DVD).
AC-3 audio (.ac3)
PCM audio (.wav or .w64)
NTSC MPEG video (.m2p, .mp2, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpv)
PAL MPEG video (.m2p, .mp2, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpv)
