Activity Forums VEGAS Pro DVD Burning

    I’m new to video editing and have found Vegas 9.0 way over my head. I figure if I jump in and learn what I can I can hopefully get somewhere. This program seems to very comprehensive, yet overwhelming for me. I did some editing and am trying to burn onto DVD. I don’t remember loading the Architect disc. Can someone tell me if it’s a separate program that must be bought separately. The Quick start manual for Architect came included, but I need a new ID number to activate. I don’t know where the needed ID number is. So, my very basic question is do I need to buy a program seperate from Vegas 9.0 in order to burn a DVD? Thanks

    If you didn;t get Architect, you can use other DVD burning software like Roxio and Nero. If your computer came with a DVD burner, it probably came with some sort of DVD burning software. You don’t have to use DVDA. You will have to render the video to DVD compliant mpeg-2 first with Vegas.

    Thanks for the help. I am a real neophyte. And there’s so much to learn. I’m going to look for some kind of tutorial.

    I am also a neophyte who is now able to use 8.1 thatks to the DVD training programs form VAAST. Douglas Spotted Eagle does an outtanding job on the disks and helps you set-up all of the preferences.

    You may be able to download the DVDA software on the Sony site. If it didn’t come with your software you may need to purchase it.

    I cannot burn a disk from Vegas, with the exception of BluRay, for which I don’t have a burner. Heck, I having enough trouble. The earlier thread covered this situation.

    I have Sony Vegas Ultimate 64 bit. Vista is not friendly to some of the Adobe products so there are some outside programs that I cannot use. I’m told 32 bit is friendlier. XP would have been a better route for me, but I have a Dell workstation that handles Ultimate real well. So… I have a great editing machine…

    Don’t get discouraged. Read these Forums and they will help.

    Good Luck, Gerry

    Agree
    Get yourself a copy of DSE’s training video, pop it into a close tv and open vegas in the pc. Now you can pause the dvd and practice on a captured piece of film until you become proficient.
    Wonderful tutoring…
