Newb format question.

Hello,

I just created my first DVD using Vegas Movie Studio and DVD Arch. When I did the "Render" from Home Studio, it output an avi file. I then created a single move project in DVD Architecht and "created" the DVD.

My problem is that the DVD will only play in a window. If I try to go full screen, it's all black, but the audio is still there. This was in WinDVD. The end product is intended for standard television display. When WinDVD was playing the video, the transport control showed "PCM" in the display. I had never noticed that with commercial DVD's.

So, my question is, was it something I did that makes it only play in a window? If so, what? And...ideally, what is the best format to render in from Movie Studio? I would like to create DVD's that are the most compatible with standard DVD players and TV.

Thanks,
Brian

Not a user of Movie Studio but see if you have dvd architect templates which you can use to prepare your movie for DVDA.

The video issue sounds like a problem between WinDVD and your video card. Have you tried playing the DVD in a standard set-top player?

PCM is the format that your audio is encoded in - Pulse Code Modulation. The other option with DVD's is AC3, but as you have the Studio version of the products, you don't have access to AC3.
