Making DVD of Project

I made my 2nd DVD with Vegas Movie Studio + DVD. I rendered the file to the hard drive. I then opened DVD Architect and open the file into the menu. I previewed the move. and then clicked on file>make dvd>burn dvd. I go through the wizard, and the dvd making process begins. At the end the screen comes up and says burn complete. I go to watch the dvd and it was the 1st dvd I made. What am I doing wrong? I did this 3 times and it made my 1st dvd each time. I also moved all other files in this folder to a new folder, so the only thing in this folder is my 2nd movie

The only thing that I could think of is when you burn a DVD in DVD Architect, it prompts you to select a location for the temp files. Could the old temp files get mixed up with the new and result in the wrong files being burned? Save the temp files (video_ts and audio_ts folders) to a different location next time.

Do you have DVD player software on your computer? If so, you can open the files in the "video_ts" folder. I would be interested to see if those files are the new ones or the old ones.

-Good Luck

You have to hit [Prepare DVD] first, or it just uses the files from the first one it made.

When I hit prepare dvd, will it render the file again?

I believe that it is preparing the DVD files in the video_ts folder, I am not sure "render" is the right term. But if you rendered your file to hard-disk as MPEG-2 then the "rendering" process will go fairly quickly.

I am not an expert, but I have done what you did and when I hit "Prepare" it asks if it is ok to overwrite the previous DVD content. So I believe that is your problem with burning the previous DVD. When you hit "burn" it burns what-ever is in the video_ts folder in the default location. When you "Prepare" it takes your current DVD content and sets it up in the video_ts folder.

I am still pretty new at this myself but "Preparing" your new DVD should solve the problem. If you want to keep your previous DVD then change your default folder.
