You shouldn't be doing any "rendering" with TDA, if by that
you mean a lengthy encoding. You could try using VideoReDo's
Quickfix ( with the MF option turned off) on those MF4 rendered
clips. Then just feed them to TDA, clicking on the Blue "Add new
track..." text, between clips. It should take only couple of seconds
for each clip in Quickfix. And the usual 15-20min to write the
VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folders. The MF4 clips are almost
DVD compliant MPEG and it's possible that TDA could use them
directly as they are, but I would think the few seconds with
Quickfix, have to be worth it.

Luck;
