I dont think I asked my question correctly. The only thing I have is a finished DVD. My project was done with Vegas 4.0 I need to make copies of this DVD. Can Vegas 4.0 do that?

[Douglas Spotted eagle]

no, Vegas 4 cannot do this.
You’ll need to rip the DVD with some other tool, and then import the VOB files to DVD Architect to re-author the DVD.

I was looking at Nero 7, but the reviews on CNET are horrible. Do you reccomend any apps like that? I ripped my dvd with DVD Shrink, but I dont think it creats VOB files, at least i cant find them in the directory. Any hints?

If you only need to make a complete copy of the previously authored DVD, then you can copy the Folders to your hard drive, and then use software to burn a copy from the DVD Folders (you don’t always have to copy them to your hard drive first).

Perhaps the latest version of DVDA Studio will let you burn from DVD Folders (they do have a Trial available…)

I’ve used Womble in the past with great success.

Darn, can’t edit my post. Oh well NTI has grown since I last went to their site. Here’s the link you want instead of looking around….

To copy a disc I have authored, I follow this procedure:

1) Create a folder on my hard drive
2) Open the DVD where I can view the files
3) Copy the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders to the new folder I created on my hard drive
4) Open DVD Architect and choose to BURN
5) Tell it to burn an “existing” project an point it to the new folder I created
6) Go through the rest of the “next/finish” buttons to tell it to burn.

That’s exactly what I was trying to say — although your steps are clearer 🙂

I just wasn’t sure if the OP’s version of DVDA would allow the burn from folders — I’ve only got the more recent versions of DVDA 3 / 4 / 4.5
