MEP always makes a backup of a DVD on your harddisk, but do you think it is flawless? Try it by going to File > Burn CD/DVD > Burn copy of already ---
Charlie,
I'd say your question can be answered sort of yes or no on a technical level...
The 'no' first: Your MEP project is just a set of instructions -- what parts of what clips should be played in what order, what other objects say images, titles, or audio tracks are included, and what transitions and effects have been added. Only MEP can act on those instruction to produce a piece of video. This is what happens when you render or export to a file. When you create a DVD, MEP does a behind the scenes render,,adds your DVD menu items and creates DVD standard files (.VOBs .BUPs etc) in a suitable standard folder (typically VIDEO_TS) and burns these to the blank DVD.
The 'yes' is that if you used MEP to create the DVD standard files you can burn them to disc using any number of programs like Nero, or the free Imageburn http://www.imgburn.com/ without opening your project again in MEP. The down side is the any errors will presumably have been introduced at the 'export' stage.
What kind or errors do you get with your voice overs? Do you see then when previewing in MEP or only on the finished DVD? Any further help really needs more detailed information.
Regards,
Carl
