Vegas 11 – Burn to ISO file?
Hello,
I have an audio project that I created in Vegas 11 that I need to burn as a Disc-At-Once audio disc (it has 88 track splits precisely specified within the project).
Problem is that I don’t have an optical drive on the machine.
Is there a way to tell Vegas to create an .ISO or other disc image file so I can transfer it to my Mac and burn it? I don’t have another system with Vegas on it, so I need it in some sort of portable format.
Thanks!

Unfortunately no. Vegas Pro can only write to the devices that are known to your operating system.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if I were to buy DVD Architect or some other program if it would be able to open the Vegas file and make this happen?
I need to get this CD burned by tomorrow, and the only burner available to me is on a Mac, unfortunately.
I have a DVD burner on order but it won’t be here for another two weeks.
Thanks!

No, you cannot. I have DVD Architect installed and it does have an ISO writer but it must be an internal function that hasn’t been included in Vegas Pro.

Macs, can share their CD/DVD burner. I do this all the time with my MacBook Pro and my son’s MacBook Air. I wonder if a Windows PC could see the drive or if this is an OS X function only? (This is why I love my Mac, it has so much more functionality when it comes to sharing than my PC)

Oh man! I thought for sure this was going to be the solution. And in theory, it is! The virtual burner software is buggy though. Upon reviewing the disc it “burned,” the track splits are in the wrong places. They don’t align where they do in the Vegas project. Upon looking at the forums for the software, it seems as if the company has stopped responding to technical support emails for months.
I also checked out a different virtual burner called TotalMounter, which is free, and it also works, but it only supports discs up to 650 MB (74:00 of audio), and my project is 79:30.
Thanks for the suggestion though, that REALLY should have been it! I just wish Sony had included a “Create ISO” option, or the ability to render multiple WAV files with exactly the right lengths out of track splits (must be a multiple of 588 samples to be gapless).

Looked into sharing the drive, and that doesn’t seem like it’s going to work. This shouldn’t be this difficult! Haha.
I may have to bite the bullet and buy a copy of Windows. Then I can use boot camp on my Mac, install Vegas there, and port the project over.

One thing you could do is download the free VMware Converter and make a virtual image of your PC onto an external disc. Then attach that disc to your Mac, install VirtualBox, and run your PC on your Mac for free. Then you can burn your project using your Mac’s burner by sharing it in VirtualBox.
This is one of the projects that I give my students to do for the “Migration to Cloud Computing” course that I teach at Columbia University so I know it works. 😉
