I've been wanting to take some time and really dive in to learning DVD Architect.. I know it has a lot to offer.. And me learning how to use it to it's fullest would definitely enrich my overall Vegas Pro experience.

Also, "The Muvipix.com Guide to DVD Architect Studio 5.0" by Steve Grisetti explains the software in some detail.  The publication was helpful in learning how to use the software, and serves as a refernce for various program settings.

Where can I get the DVD Architect 7 trial download.  I want to trial the new version but can't find where to download it?

I have DVD Architect 5.0 At this point, I am not going to update to Vegas Pro 14. I managed to turn off Sony Net Notify in the Movie Studio 13 preferences, HOWEVER, I don't see "use net notify" preference in DVD Architech 5.0. The pop up is at least, annoying. Any idea how to turn it off in the DVD Architect program ?

Thanks for the plug for my book, Halcyong! FWIW, my new Muvipix.com Guide to DVD Architect (version 7) should be available on Amazon in the next week or so. I'll try to celebrate the release with some new tutorials on YouTube and on Muvipix.

Looking forward for your new updated tutorials, Steve :)

Thank you...

I've released a 4-part Basic Training tutorial series for DVD Arch on YouTube -- and my new DVD Architect book should be on Amazon within the next few days, if anyone is interested.

I've got a few more YouTube tutorials planned also.

Thanks Steve... You can post those 4-part basic series in on the tutorial section: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/tutorials/ .

Just let us know after you posted it, and we will approve the tutorials.

See this product page on this site.

Is the trial version crippled? I assume there is a time limit but is it also limited is some functionality? Maybe the length of the DVD that one can burn is limited or some such limit?

Asking for a friend😉 No, Really!! Actually a guy on another forum asked about DVD burning software and I recommended DVD Architect. But I don't want to recommend it and he end up with the surprise like I did with Vegas.

And since I bought it I don't know what limitations the trial has.

Steve Grisetti wrote on 1/26/2019, 7:03 AM

I don't believe there are any limitations on the free trial other than how long you can use it.

Robert-Wachtman wrote on 9/19/2024, 10:11 AM

Is there a way to make a DVD from a DVDA project created as a Blu-ray? Steve Grisetti's book suggests (p. 125) there is a way; however, on a Blu-ray project there is no option for setting disc size to 4.7 or 8.5GB.

Robert-Wachtman wrote on 9/19/2024, 10:37 AM

If the only way is to re-create the project for DVD, is there a way to transfer all the links and their details (sub-menus, buttons, etc.) from the Blu-ray project without starting from scratch?

EricLNZ wrote on 9/19/2024, 7:24 PM

@Robert-Wachtman Open your Blu-ray project then try File/Properties and in the Disc Properties tab change to DVD, 8.5GB etc. You may need to reset aspect and other items. Then save the project under a new name so as to not overwrite your BR project.

You will probably need to go through your DVD project checking everything.

This is how I'd do it in DVDA7. I don't know about earlier versions.

Robert-Wachtman wrote on 9/20/2024, 8:43 AM

Thanks, Eric. I'll give that a try.
