DVDA 4.5 without 1980x1080

Hi,

I rendered edited video into BD NTSC 1920x1080 60i 25Mbps. Once it has been done I opened DVDA and clicked new project. I couldn`t find 1980x1080 in dropdown menu. I only found the best I could NTSC Widescreen 720x480. The same situation is when I tried to burn BD using DVDA. It only shows NTSC WS 720x480 Isn`t possible to burn in quality I recorded ?

By the way, no audio after render to BD, but there is audio after I rendered the same project as NTSC DVD WS 720x480

Thank you for any help.

P.S. I don`t receive any email when someone reply to my thread. Is it normal or my setting is wrong?

DVDA 4.5 doesn't do HD. If you're using DVDA Pro you can upgrade to v 5, which does, free.

I don't believe there's any facility to be emailed when your post receives a reply.

Thanks for reply.
I use Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 Pro which came with DVDA v4.5
Should I purchase DVDA v5 seperate? I tried once to upgrade for free and it asked me for my serial. When I input from one it came with MS Pro it didn`t work :(
It would be total nonsense to pay for Pro which doesn`t allow you to upgrade.
By the way, I want to try again but cannot find this upgrade anymore.

DVDA 5 is only for the pro version.

Is there big difference between Vegas Pro and Platinum 9 Pro? I look at chat comparison and found that the only difference is extra plug-ins which are not included in Pro. If I upgraded will they all be gone? Why is Pro so much expensive? Is interface different too?
Thank you again

1. Sony has a page that compares all of the flavors of Vegas.

2. There are loads of differences between Vegas Pro and the Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack, and believe me, the benefits are on the side of Vegas Pro. While the the VMS Pro Pack does come with some extra content, Vegas Pro has more power and more down-to-earth functionality. Unlimited tracks, 5.1 surround, more effects, video scopes, automation of effects, bus tracks, project nesting, and several others.

3. Vegas Pro is more expensive because it is designed for professionals (though I can use it, too!). Vegas Movie Studio is designed for home use and thus has more limitations.

4. No, you will not lose anything from VMS if you install Vegas Pro. In fact, your core VMS installation itself would be untouched -- they are separate programs and would be installed in separate directories. In fact, I believe that most of the "plug-ins" you're referring to are also separate programs that wouldn't be removed if you even uninstalled VMS.

5. The interface is almost identical. The main difference in the interface is that in Vegas Pro, you can dock and undock window components and move them around. I don't think VMS has that functionality.

Question is does all of this make it worth it to you to upgrade to Vegas Pro, or is Blu-ray authoring the only advantage you need? I couldn't tell you. Best bet is for you to download the Vegas Pro trial and kick around for a month before you plonk down the cash for an upgrade. If you find that you don't need what it has to offer over VMS, you might be better off looking around for a Blu-ray authoring app you can buy for less.

bStro THANK YOU a lot. Your explanation is very clear for me. Why I didn`t think to get V.Pro trial at first point :) I will give a try and see what this baby can make it. I hope trial has full functionality.

Cheers :)
