Yes, Vegas 3.0 is red book, although I haven't pressed anything from it. I have pressed from CD Architect, and there was never a problem. The problem with Vegas 3.0 is compatibility with Plextor IDE drives.

Ouch, you said a problem with Plextor drives? Which ones?

Using VV3 on Win2k along with a Yamaha CDRW 16x10x40.
I've had only two CD's with Disk Makers no problems here!

Which Plextor drives and what kind of problems?

The Plextor 16/10/40A will only burn at 6X with Vegas 3.0 on my machine (500 mhz Celeron). The drive uses Burn-Proof, and Vegas does not.

It really shouldn't matter that the drive has burn-proof technology...you still have to have software that supports burn-proof to really use it.

I have the Plextor 12/10/32a and swear by it, no problems that I know of.

I send about a cd a week to be pressed and I've never had a problem. I owe a lot of that to the great Plextor drive I used, which just died!!! :(((

The Plextor 16/10/40A is not the problem. Plextor's Roxio and Collin Hills CDPBurn (using CDA files) both burn at 16X. Both support Burn-Proof. Plextor tech support has told me that SF needs to update their software in order to fully support this drive. I don't know if they mean Burn-Proof is required, but above 6X with Vegas 3.0 I get buffer under-run, which burn-proof prevents. Same with CDA. I can get CDA to see the drive with some manipulation,but it will only burn at max speed,16X, and my computer can't keep up. It's a 500 mhz Celeron, 256 ram. I think SF has to write software that will keep up with the fast drives.
