ProCoder 3

Cannot load encoded MPEG files into DVD
authoring software

Your DVD authoring software does not accept the MPEG files you made with ProCoder.

Cause: File naming problem

Some DVD authoring applications do not recognize the standard .m2p file extension
for MPEG-2 program streams. Instead, they want files named .mp2 or .mpg instead.
Try renaming the output file from .m2p to .mp2 or .mpg and try again.

Cause: Incorrect MPEG-2 file type

Not all DVD authoring applications support MPEG-2 elementary streams (.m2v files
and associated audio files) and MPEG-2 program streams (.m2p files), some will only
accept one or the other. Check your DVD authoring software’s documentation to see
which type it supports and verify that you are creating the correct type with ProCoder.

Cause: Software does not accept MPEG files

Some DVD authoring applications do not accept MPEG files as sources. If this is the
case, you will need to use ProCoder to output a different file type (usually VOB) that
the authoring application will accept or use a different authoring application. Consult
your authoring software’s documentation to find out what file types it accepts.
