Bug in Vegas Pro "Burn Disc to DVD" tool

In case any of you folks still occasionally produce DVDs for clients, as we do... The Vegas Pro "Burn Disc -- DVD" tool is glitchy. Yesterday we tried three times to create a DVD from a birthday-party video we had created for a client. (The client specifically wanted a DVD, not a digital file.) Every time, the resulting DVD had a "hiccup" at the same spot... right during the singing of "Happy Birthday". The hiccup caused one complete line of the song to get dropped out. After three failures with the exact same result, we gave up on the Vegas Pro DVD-creation tool and tried something else.
In case this happens to you, here is the solution we found: We discovered that "Wondershare Uniconverter" has a DVD-Burning function. You drag a file (such as an mp4 file) into the interface, and it produces a perfect DVD. Works like a charm.(We rendered the party video to mp4 and brought that into Wondershare.)
Just passing this along to help anyone who finds themselves in the same situation we experienced. We have no connection to Wondershare, other than that we use their Uniconverter software package.
We're using Vegas Pro 19. I don't know whether they fixed this bug in Vegas Pro 20.

I still use DVD Architect for burning DVDs...

I like DVD Architect, too (been using it for a lot of years), but when I tried to use it during this project I got a message saying something about Internet Registration Error. Strangely, I just now brought up DVDA and it seems to be working properly again. There was an internet outage for most of the day in our area yesterday -- I'm guessing that was the cause of the error message. I guess DVDA must go online to check registration whenever you use it -- I wasn't aware of that.
