NTSC DVDs must contain at least one track of LPCM or AC-3 Dolby Digital audio. Yes, you can include MPEG2 audio in addition to this track, but you cannot have just one MPEG2 audio track.
DVD Audio Specification on MPEG.ORG.

Not so: the doc cited is badly worded:
# A 525/60 player must handle discs with either Dolby AC-3 or LPCM.
# A 625/50 player must handle discs with either MPEG-2 audio or LPCM.
Due to bandwidth efficiency, most titles will use the more compact Dolby AC-3 or MPEG-2 audio.
I've burnt hundreds of PAL DVDs without a sniff of either MPEG or LPCM, just AC-3 and all modern players handle it natively.
The doc cited is badly translated (the English generally is poor).

I'm not saying that most modern players won't handle these audio formats. All I'm suggesting is that Ulead stick to the standard in the templates they supply with the product -- if someone wants to change the settings from the default, they certainly can.
Incidentally, I'll be in Larnaca in November to do some filming. I might have to ask you some questions on possibly renting some equipment down there.

There are two NTSC DVD Templates (is one missing from the Public Beta Release)THoff wrote:Still, the NTSC DVD templates for MS8 incorrectly use MPEG audio, which is not part of the NTSC DVD standard and will undoubtedly cause many problems.
One template uses mpeg audio, the other template uses DD 5.1 audio (and is labeled as such).

I don't know whether any of them hire out equipment but, if they do, it will surely be PAL.
