Yeah, I've used it a couple times. I'll try it again for the full conversion if this way doesn't pan out. I don't seem to be getting errors from TMPGEnc right now, and it successfully created the video file. The Doom9 guide worked for the audio, though.

And I've now been able to put both the video and audio files into DVDlab, compile the DVD, and play it on my standalone! Woohoo! I'm now messing around with the other two episodes.

The other problem I was having was that my audio tracks weren't DVD compliant, and recently when DVDlab tried to convert them, I got an error right at the end that shut down the transcoding program. I've found, however, that I can tell it to transcode to PCM, then all I need to do is convert the sample rate in Cool Edit Pro. It's working perfectly for me at the moment! I'm loving it! Hooray for DVDs!
