Can DVDA generate vob files?

I'm looking at getting DVDA to generated DVD's from videos that I edit in video studio (VS has a generate DVD function but I'm looking for something "better".

One of the functions I like in VS is that I cab generate a DVD, an ISO, or the DVD file TS file structure with VOB's.

When it comes time to generate a DVD in DVDA can you just generate the TS file structure with the VOB files?

thanks

Berto

Yes, you can do all that.

Note that DVDA likes the audio and video in separate files, or it will recompress the audio. You can try using a demultiplexer like TsMuxer on your VS output file, or accept the recompress.

I've had no problems in DVDA with VOB files created by several different editors. Having the video and audio in one vob file has never in my experience caused it to recompress.

Unless i'm grossly misunderstanding the question ... i'll just say that this is in fact exactly what DVDA does and what it's for. It is it's reason for being.

Yes, if the audio is compliant, it should not recompress. The audio included within the video file as rendered by Vegas is not compliant (deliberately so for licencing purposes, I think). Such files are accepted by TMPEGEnc Authoring Works without recompressing, however.

VOB files are created by the authoring program (DVDA in this case) not by editors. VS in the OP's original question is acting as an authoring program.
A VOB is part of the DVD structure and is created in the ISOs as well.

The audio normally muxed within an mpeg video video by Vegas is MP3, which is not part of the DVD standard in the US, but some players will accept.

I think you mean AC3. Or did you mean MP2 (also called MPA).

Peter, thanks for helping me clarify. when you render using an MPEG template and the default audio muxed with it, it is an MP2 which is very close to an MP3 (in fact if I demux it, my computer tags it as an MP3).

this audio can be used by some DVD players, but is not part of the US DVD specification. DVDA will demux and render to the format specified in the Properties menu.

MP2 is layer 2 and MP3 is layer 3, implying further processing over layer 2. Whether it provides higher compression for the same quality or better error correction or both, I know not.

So-called mp2 audio is compliant, but horrible, nothing close to mp3.
Mp3 is not a compliant DVD audio format.
Ac3 and pcm are both compliant, and excellent fidelity.
