I have discovered by trial and error, that mpegs encoded with TMPGenc and AC3 sound encoded by BeSweet do not play any audio in Workshop DVDs (though they can be fine in other products). Hopefully, I am not repeating something everyone already knows but...
However, if you create an mpeg using the Ulead MPEG Now Encoder using AC3 it can be de-multiplexed using TMPGenc tools and then muliplexed with the TMPGenc m2v file, it then plays fine in Workshop mastered DVDs.
Why bother, well the quality of TMPGenc at low varaiable bit rates is significantly better.
What I haven't been able to achieved it getting it to accept those in motion menus, it insists on rendering them, and discards the AC3 sound (or encodes it as nothing?). Still they aren't large and it will encode wave files to AC3 via the advanced setting if customise is used, though if anyone knows how to get to avoid re-encoding menus that would be useful.
Or if anyone knows how to get it to accept Besweet AC3 sound, perhaps there is a setting that should be used, that could be useful too? Still the above does work if anyone is interested.
