rendering video to burn DVD from Movie Studio HD9

I have recently purchased Vegas Movie Studio HD 9.0 and like it fine, however I am having a hard time figuring out what settings to use when rendering a file down to burn to a DVD.

I have a working dvd burner and have burned dvd's using microsoft tools in the past, but I am unsure what the best settings are for burning a DVD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim

Not too confusing. Since your destination is DVD go to 'File' > Render As' > Save as type: MainConcept MPEG-2 > DVD Architect NTSC (or PAL If you are using that) Widescreen video stream. That renders just the video. Then render the audio using the same steps, but choose Dolby Digital AC-3 with either 'Default Template' or 'Stereo DVD'. Name both files the same thing so when you bring the video into DVD Architect it will drag the audio with it. That should do the trick. Let us know. Cin

I do not use dvd architect (nor do I own it) but I think your settings and explanation will get me moving in the right direction.

I will have to use either Nero Vision Express or just the Media Player built into Windows. Both have made usable DVD's for me.

Thanks so much for the reply.

If you, in fact, did "purchase" your copy of Vegas then you should have DVD Architect. All retail copies of Sony's Vegas, both Movie Studio and Pro all come with a version of DVD Architect.

To be fair to Jim, Vegas Movie Studio HD does not come with any version of DVD Architect.

Sorry, my apologies, I did not know that.
