Hello thinkfinkinc and all others
Did you solve your problem? if yes, what did you do?
I have the same problem. And it´s when adding more than one audiostream that it fails.
My case:
One still overlay Menu (edited in Photoshop) with four buttons, all targeted to one Videotrack
(a slideshow 43 minutes edited in Final Cut Pro, exported to Compressor (MPEG-2 High Quality Encode Widescreen 6.0Mbps 2-pass VBR 16:9),
but to different audiostreams (two buttons plays the same audio, music only, one button for a swedish voice over and one for an english voice over))
Adding only one audiotrack (DVD PCM Audio AIFF) to this and it works fine.
Adding more than one audiotrack and it fails. I have tested that out
It works fine in simulator, with all three audiotracks.
Total content 3,3 GB.
This talk about ac3 as audioformat, did it work? And if, how did you get there? I cant find no way to convert AIFF to ac3. Not through FCP, Compressor or DVDSP.
At my first fail it said "Muxing Bitrate Too High", and after testing different combination it now says "Video Bitrate Too High".
