Cant find files

A lot of other users have managed to figure it out so it can’t e that hard.
In addition to the manual, there are a lot of tutorials out there (check the Sony site) to help you learn how to do things easily.

Here is how to use DVD Architect:

1. Drop your video into the main menu
2. Change the title (optional)
3. Press Make DVD

I mean it can’t get any easier than that.

If you want a DVD without titles:

1. Choose File | New | Single Movie and press OK
2. Navigate to your movie and press Open
3. Press Make DVD

Once again, it couldn’t be easier.

Of course your are right. All this stuff is available but what is a forum for if not to make things easier? Why bother with forums when all this stuff is available?

The graveyards are full of people the world couldn’t do without

Yes, but that is where the problem lies. Click the make movie button and it renders the movie. then it says to send it to architect. I thought it rendered it then I could make a dvd but it asks me to send it to architect. When I am done with it in Vegas I want to render it and make a DVD of it. Either place that I have found so far to make a movie it says to send to Architect. Then architect wants to give it titles and do everything that I thought I had already done. Besides treating it as unsaved and untitled. So you can see I am way off somewhere.

I’m going through all this with the object of making a movie in Vegas 9. I’ve made them but not well made. I’ve even made them in architect. The help through tutorials and index in Vegas is the best. A quality Microsoft has never learned. But to the new person it is still incomplete. The learning process can be speeded up with help. That’s what forums are all about. I’ve had a lot of help so far and I sincerely appreciate it. I’m taking the easy way out. Asking help at this forum is the easy way. I’ve always been to the tutorials and help before coming to the forum be assured of that. So if you have the solution thanks.

Maybe next time I will actually select to render the movie and see what comes up before sending it to Architect. Thanks for your help.

Have a nice day.

I agree that forums do help to make things easier.
I use them a lot when I need to and have always gotten an answer (sometimes several) in response to my questions.
However, before I post a question, I do a search to see if the problem has come up before and how it was solved.
I read several forums daily and watch videos on various sites to further my knowledge of the software.

[Doyal Gudgel]

Yes, I do too although to the expert it may not look like it. I have got a lot of help from you and I appreciate it. I have always looked for a solution in help or tutorials before coming to the forum. I would not be asking for answers if I had phrased the question properly in manner easily understood. I cant get answers if the problem is not properly understood.

I decided to do something about 75 years of pictures, movie film, videotape and now digital pictures that I have. I have to learn vegas to do this. Nero, Roxie, Ms Movie maker will not cut it. Vegas is the best answer to do this. I have just a couple problems to solve.

Actually this is enjoyable. Learning something new is always fun. I can do a hit and miss job but I want a real ability to do what I want to do with thousands of pictures and thousands of feet of film gooing back to the 30’s.

Have a nice day

It’s vegas 9 platinum. The latest version when I bought it. It is just me.

OK I figured out the problem with the missing files. I was inserting them into the media from a DVD in the dvd r/w. Naturally the dvd was not in the dvd writer when I went back to the program. If I had read everything on the menu I would have seen the source of the file was the dvd reader not something in my computer. In the meantime I learned a lot of other things. The solution to making a movie is probably as simple. (when I learn)

It appears that Sony vegas does not make a DVD that will play in a DVD player. I rendered a movie in mpeg1 and mpeg2 and neither would play in a DVD player only on a computer. I had to create the movie in sony architect to play on a DVD player. Sony architecture has a lot of good features but I didn’t want to go through that process. So if anyone has a solution on how to make a DVD in vegas that will play in a DVD player let me know. I’d appreciate it.
Have a nice day

[doyal gudgel] “It appears that Sony vegas does not make a DVD that will play in a DVD player.”

Yes Sony does. I think you are confused about how to author a DVD. You can’t just drag files to the DVD in Windows. That makes a “data” DVD. It does not make a DVD that will be recognized by a DVD player.

[doyal gudgel] “I had to create the movie in sony architect to play on a DVD player. “

This is why Sony gives you DVD Architect Studio. DVD’s must be “authored”. DVD Architect Studio is a DVD authoring program.

[doyal gudgel] “So if anyone has a solution on how to make a DVD in vegas that will play in a DVD player let me know. “

You can use Tools | Burn Disc | DVD… from within Movie Studio to make a DVD directly from the timeline. If Movie Studio 9 doesn’t have this option, then you might consider upgrading to Movie Studio 10 which does.
