I do have the link, it states the VP14 is $199, I just don't want to spend $199 to find out I need VP13 first. I believe $149 is if I have VP13 but not 100% sure. If I need to purchase VP13 then that's fine, just want to be sure I'm not over-spending.

I got this offer for Vegas 14 Edit from my Vegas 10 Net Notify.

I'm not sure you even need a previous serial number to use that offer.

I assume I want to leave that box unchecked? I will want to make bluray discs so would the edit version not allow this? What are the main differences?

Thanks.

That button will show you the cheaper "Edit" version which does not include add-ons. The "PRODUCT COMPARISON" link on the same page shows you the differences. In "Edit" you have "Blu-ray and DVD Disc burning from the timeline" but you can't author menus etc.. You need DVD Architect for that, which is only included in the "Pro" and "Suite" editions.

My Vegas Pro 10 came with DVD Architect Pro 5.2. As the OP said he has VP 10, he might want to check if this was the same with his purchase. As I do not not have Vegas Pro 14, others need to tell if and how Vegas Pro 14 bought as the Edit version restricts the functionality of DVD Architect Pro 5.2.

If I buy only 14 edit, does that mean I don't get the AC3/mpeg-2 rendering codec's to make DVD's with like previous versions of Vegas?  14 Edit is interesting to me as I have 10, but my copy of DVDA works great.  I know in previous Sony versions if you have the AC3/mpeg-2 in a previous version it would work in a later one, but that was all Sony branded Vegas.

The actual Vegas part within Edit, Pro and Studio is the same program. In the Edit version you will still have the AC-3 Studio and MPEG-2 encoders. No versions of VP14 have AC-3 Pro any more, and any AC-3 Studio renders unfortunately need re-rendering by any version of DVDA. There is a workaround to use VP13's AC-3 Pro codec .dll in VP14 but unfortunately I'm pretty sure it won't work for VP10's codec .dll. It doesn't for VP12's.

AC-3 Pro was always a part of DVDA never from Vegas Pro
DVDA 7 has no longer an AC-3 Pro codec
You need an earlier version of DVDA to use the workaround, not an earlier version of Vegas

So you mean my VP10, 12 and 13 only had the AC-3 Pro codec in my C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 1X.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\ folder because I also had DVDA installed? i.e. I had full Pro and not Edit?

Yes installing of DVDA installs the codec in Vegas
