Someone please HELP!
I bought Vegas+DVD hoping that it would be an all-in-one solution to converting my 8mm home video to DVD.
Video Vegas is Good! Worth the money I paid.
Architect is Bad! Not worth squat!
The problem is that I have burned over 10 dvd using Sonic MyDVD without any problems. The DVDs play fine on my Apex 600 stand-alone player and DVD-ROM (computer). When I use architect to burn it goes through the whole process (render, prepare, burn) and I get a successfully burned message but the DVDs won't play on either the DVD-ROM or APEX. WHY? I use the exact same media so please don't say it's a media problem (I'm using DVD-R on an Iomega SuperDVD +/-R +/-RW -RAM)
I've tried tinkering with all the setting and nothing helps. I've made 5 coasters now. I'd stick with MyDVD but the menu building is pretty limited. Anyone else having this problem or have suggestions?
tonight I will attempt to copy the pre-rendered files on a DVD using another app. to see if it is the burn process on dvd architect causing the problem. my suspicion is that it is either the burn process dvd architect uses or issues with DVD chapters and menu rendering.
Now for the UGLY.... Sony/SF didn't learn from the whole Intuit Turbo Tax fiasco. I can't tell you how many times I've had to "register" the applications. I try to render and save as mp3 and I get a pop up window asking for serial key. I enter key on manual and says it's invalid! I try to save and render as AC3 and I get a registration window. I try to burn a dvd and get a registration window. I can't begin to tell you how frustrating this is to have to repeatedly open the manual, enter in a long key, get an error message and have to do it all over again. This has happened with ever plug in (mpeg, ac3, mp3, etc).
Last night I downloaded and installed all the updates and it seems to have temporarily cured the problem.
