A question on performance of DVDA 7.

I recently completed a large DVDA 7 project which I burnt to two Verbatim Blu-ray 25G media disks. Encoding in Vegas Pro 14 build 255 to MPEG 2 1920x1080 50i Sony Wavw64 audio was no problem, the CPU running at 97%. However when authoring in DVDA 7 it took a long time in the 'Prepare' mode. It looked like it was re-rendering the video. When I checked the CPU performance during that operation it was only loaded to 15% and during burning to single figure %. Why would it not use more available CPU power? My system is all SSD internal hard drives and my CPU is a i7-6700K running at 4 Ghz with 32GB of RAM.

What format of video and audio did you export from Vegas to use as your DVD Architect source?

Is your BluRay an MPEG or AVC BluRay?

How elaborate are your menu pages?

Thanks for the reply Steve I encoded the project as MPEG 2 1920x1080 50i and the audio as SONY Wave 64 as pointed out above. The BD-R 6X which I burnt them to is MPEG 2. Is there a new improved version of DVDA 7 due soon? I have heard rumours but they may have been just wishful thinking!!

 Hi 'Cornico' This was my reason for wondering if it was re-rendering the video during the 'Prepare' mode. The process seemed to be excessive. All came out good in the end and I produced both disks sucessfully, just took a long time.
