Anything newer/better than DVD Architect Pro Version 6 (build 237)

I've searched for an answer to my question but the DVD Architect versions appear to have run off the track. I would at least like to ensure that I'm using the latest build of version 6, but if there's an upgrade that's a step forward, not backward, I'd like to know about it.

DVDA7 is the latest Pro version. The Studio version has been dropped. You could download a 30 day trial from https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/dvd-architect/ to see if it offers you anything over V6.

Thank you for replying @EricLNZ. I'll try the trial. I happened to receive a reply from vegascreativesoftware suggesting that I buy Vegas Movie Studio Platinum because it comes with DVD Architect for $40 less than the standalone version. Of course I wonder if the DVDA that comes with VMSP has the same features. (After all, v6 has "Pro" in the name!)

BTW, you wrote, "The Studio version has been dropped". What were you referring to?

Nowadays there is only one version of DVDA7, and that is what you get with both VMSP and VP.

As for Studio version - SCS used to release Pro and Studio versions of DVDA. VMS users got the Studio version, VP users got the Pro. There appeared to be little difference between the two, just a few Pro features dropped in the Studio version. Magix obviously decided it wasn't worth the effort or expense of having both so dropped the Studio version so now we all get the 'Pro' version. But it's not called Pro anymore because there's no need to differentiate.
