I did get one patch and it enabled my Pioneer A04 drive to work with DVD-Arch. However, my Sony DRU 500 is not recognized at all at this point.

I'm using the HP200i which is one of the several burners recommended. DVD-A works fine for me, although I'd like to see more menu templates and more custom settings for menus in the future releases. If your setup doesn't work, there is a reason and it's usually incompatible hardware or software. Always be sure to check the "compatibilty list" for hardware for any new product, including DVD-A.

If you are using the Pioneer drive, call customer support and they will e-mail you a file to overwrite. This seems to work so far. At least it has for me I use the Pioneer 104.

If it is the DVD burn that is your problem, then I'd look to your original burning software that came with your drive. This should be able to burn the HD image mode of DVDA. Updates to support more drives will surely come.

I'd rather the time be spent ironing out the recompress and media recognition aspects. Premuxed A/V .MPG program and elemental add ons after that. Then move on to enhance play sequencing / self navigation, and perhaps a subset of the multi=language features. Possibly reaching this point by the summer. Additional artwork might aswell be an add-on pack IMHO. Just like DVEs with Vegas4.

There has to be priority on the faults and omissions respectively.

Yes it is a very frequent error but SOFO is working on this and hope we can expect this next release soon. Keep in mind that a DVD authoring software is not a burning software BUT lot of them include burning feature for facility and user assistance reasons.

Until then, I suggest you to use an external burning software to burn your prepared DVD. You probably got Nero or Easy CD Creator with your DVD drive. It is what I do to brun DVD+RW which are not handled correctly in DVDA. The DVD+R are and I am using DVDA for that DVD+R case.

Try this... make sure the temp folder in Preferences and the folder for your Build are the same.

Clyde has got it. I have two hd and dedicate one to video only I change the default folder to one on the video drive and keep all files in progress on it. I have a amd 1.3 gig cpu a 32 meg video card 512 memory. Two hard drives. This afternoon I did a wedding video with Vegas Video 4 + dvd I burned it from DVD Arch at 2 x speed on my Sony DRU500 A worked perfectly. Honestly in the several weeks I have had Vegas Video + DVD I have not make a "coaster" knock on wood. I have hundreds of coasters made with Pinnacle studio 7 and 8.

I'm hoping for an update to DVDA soon too. I wouldn't say I'm pissed, _yet_... :) I can't use it because of a blocky menu screen and glitches (slowdown and speedup) while playing on some Apex (and another brand or two) players.
