    Hello, I wrote a similiar question a few days ago. I just want to know I didn’t buy DVDA so can I from within vegas 6 create a dvd. I don’t need menus or nothing just so as long as when the dvd goes into the player, it plays that is it ?

    No you can’t. Vegas is an editing app while DVDA is a DVD authoring app. DVDA takes the files you create in Vegas to make the finished DVD.
    Is it necessary? No. Lots of folks use other apps to create the DVD so the choice is yours.

    …..and no matter which authoring program you use, including DVDA, you can make a straight movie DVD without Menus.

    Don’t know what you want to do but personally, a DVD without a menu sort of defeats the purpose. I mean it’s like watching a VHS tape. Would have to fast forward or reverse to find something. If I’m just running a movie to a DVD from a VHS tape, at the least I just set a chapter every 15 minutes or so.

    [Allen Zagel] “Would have to fast forward or reverse to find something.”

    You call add chapter marks anywhere you want and jump right to them from a single play DVD. It will auto start playing when inserted into the player, but all your chapter marks will be accessable with the “next” and “previous” buttons on your remote. So it actually is better than a VCR tape.

    Sorry Allen, you already said that. My eyes aren’t paying attention tonight 🙂

    Alright, thank you. It’s just that this will be a very short dvd why I ask such a question. I suppose I can still put in some chapters.
