I've been using the Ulead DVD Workshop until I tried DVD Architect.
I really like the user interface of DVD Architect but I find that it has
two features that make it unusable:
1. Inability to link menu items. I render many different video segments separately in Vegas Video 4. I need the ability to play the segments in whatever order I choose when I create the DVD and not be forced to create one giant MPEG2 file. This allows me to make last minute minor modifications to specific segments and avoid the need to re-render the entire video.
Ulead DVD Workshop allows each item in the playlist to either play the next item in the list or to go back to the main menu. This is an essential feature missing from DVD Architect.
2. Timeout. In Ulead DVD Workshop, I can set a timeout to autostart playing a specific item after 0-30 seconds. This is useful for people who are not very DVD savy, so they don't have to press play or select the specific item to play, as the DVD will auto-start.
If you fix these items, then I think DVD Architect has a chance of becoming useful to me. As it stands, I'm back to using Ulead DVD Workshop.
