DVD burning going ridiculously bad…

[James Strecker]

Sorry it took so long. It’s finals week here in Oregon…

Here are screenshots of each screen I go through before rendering.

The main render list, from which I select the video output:

Customizing the video output:

The “audio” tab in the video output customization:

Selecting the audio output (it will not let me customize):

I believe I have followed the instructions you gave me, but when I render with these, DVD Architect Studio will not accept SOMETHING.

I am beginning to think it is just the audio that is the problem. I watched DVD Architect Studio render to “prepare” for burning (like watching paint dry…) last time, and it got all the way through the video just fine. But it immediately gave me the “unsupported format” error once it tried to start rendering the audio.

I have tried every possible audio output Vegas has to offer, and none work…

Is there something I need to customize within the audio settings? I don’t really know anything about bitrates. But it seems like it just doesn’t like any audio filetype whatsoever. No idea what to do.

Thanks for your help.

You’re doing everything the way it’s supposed to be done so I can’t imagine any reason for your render to be failing.
Try changing the name of your final render and render everything to a new folder. I’ve seen it happen where Vegas and DVDA get very confused and sometimes this will help.
Have you tried reinstalling DVDA yet?

[James Strecker]

No, I have not. I will try that, if I can find the disc it came on. Is the installation for that on the same CD as the installation for Vegas? Because I don’t see a separate installation disc for DVD Architect Studio in the box Vegas came in.

Thanks.

There’s no need to find your original disc. You can download the latest build of it on the Vegas family updates page
You may need to log in to this page but it’s been so long since I’ve done this that I honestly can’t remember.

[James Strecker]

Alright, I’ll let you know. Thanks!

I forgot to mention that you may need your serial number when you’re doing this. All this information is on your Sony My Account – My Software page. You will need to log into to this page so hopefully you remember your username and password 🙂

Re-installed and burning now. We’ll see what happens…

It worked! Thanks so much! That’s a very dumb solution, haha. But good to know, I guess.

Houston, we have lift off!!
Glad to hear that things are finally working as expected.
Reinstall is a last resort but something that has to be done when all other suggestions fail.
