Steve,

Once again, thank you for all of the terrific advice you share on this forum, it has been very helpful for me. Thank you for the clarity on this, it is very confusing. I thought by getting Vegas 9 I was getting the top program. So, I would be better off with Vegas Pro 8.0, correct? And that program will still be able to edit the M2ts files from my Canon HG20?

Steve,

I really didn’t use any effects. I only trimmed video and then put them together. Some I took out the audio and added music, but no visual effects at all. But it’s VERY obvious throughout a majority of the dvd. Are there certain settings I should use when I make movie and then choose the DVD button and it does it through Architect?

Thanks, it did the trick. I switched to 4.5 studio and it burned!

I looked at the sites you suggested and realized I did not communicate effectively. I meant to ask if there were any good free animation sites. Like to get baloons floating up, stuff like that? A Santa walking across the screen, etc.

Steve,

Thank you for the rsponse. I am using Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0 and DVD Architect Pro 5.0. To be clear, you are saying that if I regress a bit to DVD Architect Studio 4.5 I will be OK?

Also, do you know of any good royalty free video places where I can find falling snow, or fire effects for using in my editing?

Thanks so much!
