DVDA Studio and UJ-810

i upgraded my vegas movie studio 4.0 to the full vegas 5.0 but i continued to use the old dvda studio that came with vms 4.0. i noticed that there is an update file for dvda 2.0 which fixes a bug with creating dvds with a matsushita UJ-810 dvd writer (which is the dvd writer installed in my sony vaio). i assumed (incorrectly) that i could be pretty certain that sony software would be fairly compatible with sony hardware.)

i have read that dvda studio is based on dvda 2.0. i have burned a dvd but... i've only produced a 3 minute dvd so far and i have noticed (visually) that the dvd is about half written for the 3 minute production and burning requires about 10 minutes for every minute of video. maybe i'm being paranoid but i think this bodes ill for my 20 minute christmas dvd.

anybody at sony have a clue as to whether the same bug infects dvda studio and if so is there a work around or does sony intend to provide a patch for studio (like they did for dvda 2.0)?

The demo version of DVD Architect
* does not allow MP3, MPEG, or AC-3 files to be imported
* does not allow file preparing
* does not allow burning of externally prepared demo projects larger that 500MB

looks like i'll have to go with dvd lab or dvd lab pro if sony won't patch the software to work with its hardware.
