I tested the multi angle option in DVDMaestro (v2.9) with just the multi angle scenes + audio and there was no problem, it compiled ok, I burned it to dvd and it played fine. But when I try to compile the entire dvd I get an error about an VOBU exceeding the max bitrate of 8000. But I'm not sure if the program means 8000 with or without audio. But since the test with only the multi angle scenes went fine I don't know what all the trouble is about.

Hey Arnie,
Did a bit of a google search, and this came up over at Doom9:

Don't know if it's any help to you, although it looks like the Max bitrate for 2 angles is 7800Kbps...
A colleague of mine started authoring a multi-angle project in Spruce a few years back. Everything seemed to be working well, but then it just broke - he ended up re-authoring the entire project in Sonic DVD Creator. As I understand it, Spruce can get quite flakey with multi-angle. I would have said something along the lines of the number of angles, or having angle blocks that don't run for the entire movie, but by the sound of it, you had it working, it's just when you've added everything else in, it's gone wrong.
As an experiment, have you tried converting your PCM to Ac3 to see it that fixes the problem? Not something you want to do for your final project, but may be worth a punt.
