Burning a project to DVD
I have put together a 45 minutes “year-end video” for my family for the holidays. I rendered it out to AC3-Studio and Mpeg2 like other posts suggested. Then I close Vegas Pro 9 and when I open DVD architect 4.5 I can’t figure out how to add the mpg and ac3. I am stuck in the menu portion of the program when it gives you the main menu options of how you want the template, etc. to look.
Is there a simple button in Vegas that will automatically take the project into DVD Architect seemlessly? I keep reading warnings saying don’t render it to MPEG2 and then it will re-render in Architect. How do I prevent that?
I tried burning it with Roxio and the sound was off.
I have spent the better part of the evening and this morning reading through post and have not found the solution so if anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly!
Any suggestions?

Once you pick the theme you want (or your own custom background screen), use the Explorer tab to browse to the folder where the MPEG-2 and AC-3 files are located and double click on the MPEG-2 file.
As long as the AC-3 file has the same name, it’ll load automatically.
The words Menu 1 can be deleted or changed as desired.
You can now choose if you want the icon to be text & image, image only or text only.
You can change the location (it defaults to centre screen) and size of the image/text icon.
You can also change the text and/or image icon if you want to.
Once you get it looking the way you want, save the file (*.dar format) and Make the DVD (Prepare to use a different burning app or Burn using DVDA).
Hope this helps. -
Agreed with the earlier post.
If you aren’t keen on doing a full menu-oriented DVD, Vegas does have a ‘Make DVD’ menu option that you can use. It creates a menu-less DVD directly from your time line in one step. it’s not nearly as elegant or nice a delivery as you can get with DVDA, but it works if that’s all you need.

Dustin, if I’m not mistaken, the “make DVD” option is only available in the Movie Studio versions, not Vegas Pro.

Not is Vegas Pro. What you would do is open Vegas Pro. If you do not get an immediate splash screen asking what kind of project you want to open then from the FILE menu choose NEW. When the new project opens it will ask what kind of project you want. Choose Single Movie Non Menu Based. Then find where your movie (Mpeg 2 and AC3) files are and double click on one of them. Both files will be brought into DVDA. You are ready to burn.
