Hello Lee. Thanks again for your assistance. Yes, I was mistakenly equating additional audio tracks with additional audio streams. so evidently this was not the core of the problem I thought it was.
I reduced the bitrate from 8000+ to 4000, but it didn't help. I still get the "DATA EXCEEDS MULTIPLEXiBLE..." message, and the burning process aborts before it starts. I have used an image quality setting of 49. Perhaps lowering this will help? I'll try that tonight. I am using the MPEG encoder in the Premiere 6.5 to convert the time line to .m2v files. I'm very hazy on what the bitrate actually is. Is there some optimal balance bitrate, image quality and program length that I am failing to understand, or is there something else going on here?
