DVD burning

Sorry if this is an often asked question but havent been keeping up with the forum of late.
Now that I have a dvd burner what do I need to start putting my work to dvd using Vegas 3?
I assume I need to buy a Mp2 codec licence, or should I imediately upgrade to vegas 4 with dvd?
thanks, Brian

Apart from needing the mpg encoder the ac3 encoder would be handy as well if you need to fit a lot onto the DVDs. Also you also see a way to author your DVDs.
Never used VV 3 but I'd say the upgrade to Vegas 4 + DVDA would be a good move.

Edit your video and create an uncompressed AVI in Vegas. Then Render the AVI to Mpeg 2. You will have to activate the Mpeg 2 license which came with Vegas 3. Call them if you have a problem. Then:

Buy this to try authoring and menu creating and burning.

It is very reasonably priced. Shop around.

I second what Farss said. To make it clean, efficient, and simple upgrade to Vegas 4 + DVD. You won't regret it.
