DVD Architect NTSV Template Question

What's the difference/advantage to rendering with the DVDA video stream Template, then rendering a separate .ac3 audio file, for DVD Authoring/burning in DVDA? For quite some time I have been rendering my work from Vegas to DVD NTSV, and letting DVDA re-encode the audio to .ac3. But thinking that the re-encode to .ac3 was a time consuming, redundant step, I tried a few DVDA video stream/separate .ac3 renders and the time was about the same as a DVD NTSV render. Is the only difference/advantage that DVDA doesn't have to re-encode the audio to .ac3 (saves 10 minutes for 30 minutes of audio)? Or is there a quality issue as well, insofar as I am using DVDA to burn?

Thanks guys/gals.

There is no quality issue, it's just a savings of time. Moreover though, Vegas has more AC3 control options than you have in DVDA.

Thanks, Spot. BTW, I bought your book before I learned about this Forum. It was a pleasant surprize to have seen you here. Have a nice Sunday.
