With respect to the cost to upgrade, it's not something that one can purchase separately. DVDA 5.2 is paired with Vegas Pro 10. If you purchased or upgraded to VP 10, DVD Architect 5.2 is available at no additional cost.

I don't think that there is too much difference between features. I had problems using DVDA 5.0 with output from Vegas 10 once so I concluded that you should try to use the versions that are related for best compatibility, but your milage may vary from mine. (That is: use Vegas 9 with DVDA 5.0 or Vegas 10 with DVDA 5.2)

We have Vegas 9/DVDA 5.0 at work--I'm still wondering about the upgrade cost (to 10/5.2) before I even bring-up the subject there.

I was hoping to get knowledgeable about any possible benefits before raising a subject that involves $$. ;-)

I think the justification if any would be based on upgrading Vegas, not DVDA

I figured as much, but thanks for your input.

For the record, if anyone knows what the upgrade cost is from Vegas 9 to 10 let us know.

When 10 first came out, there was a special price for a short while, but only some people were emailed about it. There is speculation that a new version might be announced at NAB, so I would wait to see if that happens and look for a special deal soon after.

Until the end of April you can upgrade to Vegas Pro 10 for $191.96 as well as many other upgrades at 20% off:

Unless I'm reading it wrong that's the upgrade price if you already have an older version of Vegas Pro. Otherwise it's $391.96 to upgrade.

BlackMax says that he has Vegas 9 at work already.

Thanks very much PeterDuke for the link--I'd not found that on my own. :o
