I have movie that I made in Vegas 5 that is about a hour long. Im rendering it mep-2 but it is taking a long time. I know this is a time consuming process but the time left indicator doesn't even stop it just starts all over again. Is that normal? What is the format to render in for producing a dvd?As you can tell I'm new to vegas.
Thanks

- I don't know what you mean by starts all over again....You mean after the bar is full it starts all over again? Well, if that's what you mean, no, it's abnormal.

- Choose DVDArchitect NTSC video stream and configure the compressor...Choose Best, VBR, double pass. That means, you're gonna encode the video. For the audio file it must be encoded in another process, then you're gonna choose to render the same whole file as AC-3. This way you're gonna have 2 files, one for the video and the other one for the soundtrack. Note that both MUST have the same name, ex. Killab1 for the video file and Killab1for the audio one. Open the video file later with DVDArchitect, both files will go together (since both have the same name, DVDA will pick them up "ensemble")....Then author and burn your DVD. ;)

Do Choose that in Vegas when I render or in Architect builder?

You are going to render the VIDEO file and the AUDIO file in VEGAS. That means, yes, you are going to CHOOSE THOSE OPTIONS IN VEGAS. Later, you're going to drop these files in DVDA, just drop the files - no need to re-compress or whatever. What you are going to do with DVDA is to AUTHOR(Menus, etc...) and BURN your DVD.
