Answering both your latest posts:

First, if you have registered your VS9 with Ulead, you go the the Ulead site, log-in and seek technical help there by filling out a form. Give as much detail as possible. But it is only for registered users. Appealing to tech support for help on this Board will achieve nothing. As far as we are aware, with the departure of HT Chien from Ulead, tech support are rarely if ever here.

Second, your successful conversion to i-Pod mpeg-4 probably implies nothing. Different horses for different courses: that conversion process uses completely different codecs and AFAIK audio format.

You never did give us your project properties. Did you ever try burning your DVD using either the rock standard LPCM audio format? The only downside with it is that it produces large files, but excellent quality audio. You may not be able to fit as much video on a DVD as when you use a more compressed audio format like AC-3. (But using a bitrate of 8000 and LPCM audio, you will still get an hour of video on a single layer DVD.)

And if space is really a consideration, then did you try using mpeg layer II audio. This will give you about the same size format and quality as AC-3 dual channel stereo. The only downside is that mpeg layer II is not part of the NTSC DVD standard, though most modern NTSC stand-alone DVD players will nevertheless play it without problems.
