Rendering question?

I have a question on the rendering of my project. I have read the following and am just a little confused.
If you are rendering from Vegas for use in DVD Architect, in the Render As window, select "MainConcept MPEG 2" in the Save As Type field. Then select the "DVD Architect NTSC video stream" template in the Template field below the Save As Type field. This template will only encode the video stream, so you will have to render a second time to encode the audio stream.

When you choose Render As for the audio stream, select one of the two formats that DVD Architect will use for encoding the audio stream in the save as type field:

- Dolby Digital AC-3 (*.ac3) and for Template, choose "Stereo or 5.1 Surround" (you will only see one of these options, which reflect what your project properties are set to).

- Wave (Microsoft) (*.wav) and for Template choose "48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, PCM wave file".

Also, make sure you render both files to the same folder with the same name. If you do this, when you import the video stream into DVD Architect, the audio steam will import automatically.

In your DVD Architect project you can set your Project Properties to match your video and audio format properties. To do this, you can go to File > Properties and for the Video / Audio format, select a respective file type and template.

To add the clips that you have rendered from Vegas, in DVD Architect choose Insert > Media, and find the clips that Vegas rendered which will be stored where ever you directed Vegas to store the video and audio streams.

In the part where it talks about the first render, I have no problem. When it comes to the second render I get lost. What do I do here? I could use a little help with this if anyone would give a little more detail. I appreciate it greatly.

Your first option is to choose the DVD NTSC render template.
This will give you video and audio in the same MPEG-2 file.
No worries --- and unless you are really doing something special with the audio
this should give a good result in DVD Arch.

If your doing surround sound or have another reason, choose
AC3 as the “Save as Type”. Name the file or leave the default name,
and click SAVE .. Same as any other render. It’s just audio only.

In DVD Arch you will get a chance to use this AC3 file. I’m not sure
you need to name if the same or place it in the same folder – but I just
haven’t try it any other way .. Once you have your AC3 saved, if you need
help with DVD Arch in using the AC3 or creating a project for a DVD, post
again for help.

You name them the same and place them in the same folder so that DVDA will pick up both when you utilize the video file you just made. If they are separate (separate names and/or separate folders) you will have to manually locate and place the audio file on the DVDA timeline.
