DVD Architect Studio .vs. MyDVD Studio v6

Okay here's the fight card:
DVD Architect Studio (bundled with VMS)
versus
MyDVD Studio v6 WITH all the 70 Premium Styles

Based on the forums... my guess is DVDA would mop up. But only having brief experience with the MyDVD (v?) that came with Screenblast MS, I am not in a position to judge. These two apps are aimed at pretty much the same tasks right? I bought MyDVD v6 a month ago, but haven't had a chance to even install it. In a few days I'll have the VMS upgrade with DVDA Studio. I'm wondering if I should even bother with MyDVD v6 now? (I'm just doing home movies/slideshows, but I do enjoy fiddling with all the geegaws & gizmos.)

If you are familiar with both I'd really appreciate it if you could list the top pros & cons of each. Thanks!

MyDVD seems to have less bells and whitsels but is more user-friendly than DVD Architect - especially for the novice user.

I've got both. Although I use both of them, I go with DVD most often, but like to use the styles that come with MYDVD.

Hi Itchy!
earlier versions (v4.5.2) was easy to use, but had a bad disc burn quality. both DVDA versions create good quality discs, with more options than MyDVD v4.5.2 had. Test it out for yourself. it's also a question of what hardware & software you'll need for the mpeg capturing. VMS does not support mpeg capture( only DV), but MyDVD does.

Thanks for the reply.

Is it possible to use the styles that come with MyDVD in DVDA Studio?
