DVD Architect Link Problem

mixxer wrote on 6/21/2008, 2:09 PM

After I render a movie to DVD it won't automatically open DVD Architect to burn it. Warning flag "DVD Architect is not installed" comes up. My software is installed on my 'D' drive. I suppose Movie Studio is trying to find Architect on the 'C' drive. Any way I can default to the 'D'?

I always install my apps on C, but I simply configure them to use my F drive for temp/storage. I suggest you do the same to avoid problems.

Thanks for the reply Eugenia. I too use separate drives for media storage. My problem is that the OEM 'System' or 'C' drive on my PC is on it's way out. To eleviate stress upon it it I have installed Windows and my apps on a 'D' drive. Until I fathom how to clone the hidden 'System' directory onto my current 'D' drive (and then re-designate it as 'C') I'm compromised.

I don't use the Studio version so i'm unfamiliar with this link think. In the Pro version we render MPEG and AC3 in Vegas, then launch DVDA and drag the rendered files into the DVD project. Seems very simple and straight forward. Perhaps the same procedure would work well for you.

Hi Chienworks. Yes, the workaround is straightforward. I was just curious as to why DVDA wasn't being recognised when both it and Movie Studio are on the same drive. The only conclusion is that MS is looking for a 'C' address. Presumably, a simple edit of the registry would sort it.

Just curious, but under Options / Preferences / Audio there's a place to specify an external audio editor. Under Video there's a place to specify an external video capture program. Is there anything you can find similar to those that allows you to specify an external DVD authoring program?

First thing I looked for. Nothing there other than what you spotted. I'll leave it for now Chienworks, no real problem after all. Thanks for your input though, well appreciated.
