So far, regretting decision to use Vegas 14 & DVDA 7 for new project

So far: 

Rendered audio to AC3 with V14 for Blu-ray disc. No longer got to select bit rate or specify Dialnorm -31, but tried creating AC3 audio file anyway. DVDA didn't like the AC3 file, and said it would rerender audio, so instead I rendered audio as stereo .wav. 

Went to create DVD version of the project. I tried to use to use the MatchAspect.js script to handle the aspect ratio conversion from HD to wide-screen DVD. The script no longer runs -- "Variable 'TrackEvent' has not been declared", etc. Have to change each event by hand.

Anyone else encountering these problems? Also sad that the Magix forum makes it so hard to see more than a few posts at a time.

There is a fix for the AC3 if you look back about a month. Not sure about your other issue.

I usually use the Stretch Video option under the RenderAs dialog options as I was not aware of the MatchAspect.js script.

There is a workaround to use AC-3 Pro in VP14 if you had a previous version of VP and DVDA. Discussion starts about here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/ac3-pro-render-missing-in-vp14--103633/?page=2#ca640171

To get MatchAspect.js working in VP14, you should simply just have to change the line

import Sony.Vegas;

to

import ScriptPortal.Vegas;

in a text editor.

Nick Hope, thank you very much! AC-3 Pro and MatchAspect now working fine!
