Does Sony Vegas Pro 8 burn to a DVD (not Bluray)?

Stupid question? Probably. I am was previously using Studio but needed HDV capabilities. I am reviewing the manual now as we speak but I am trying to find the render and burn to DVD option. Any help for this novice would be great. Thanks.

If you buy Vegas Pro 8 with DVD Architect, you have DVD capability.

No, not straight from the Vegas timeline to DVD, but that's not the best way to go anyway.

OK. To save you time and possible aggrevation, can you either tell me the best way to go because I probably do not have DVD Architect.? Or is there a good prior thread on this?

I know probably the best way is to get a bluray player but I do not have one.

Unless you got some kind of a special deal, DVD Architect comes bundled with Vegas Pro 8.
To learn the basics of burning with Vegas & DVDA, grab Vol. 1 Issue 7 of jetdv's (free) newsletters.

Thanks - in regards to the 2nd post, what is considered the best way?

The "Best Way" is to encode to mpg-2 with the DVDA template under the mpeg setting for the video and AC3 for the audio and then import that into DVD Architect.

...and if the MPEG-2 and AC3 files have the same name and are in the same directory, DVDA will automatically assign the audio track when you drag the video track into the project.
