Using the latest 5.0 or 6.0..........what are the steps to utilize a DVD-R in the Blu-ray setting for very short projects? Usually a AVCHD DVD-R in some other softwares.
NOTE: The Property tab will not allow the set-up as using a Blu-ray disc @ 4.7 as in a prior version.
Unfortunately the program doesn't support this feature anymore. So you have to cheat it a little.
First, build a BluRay project, making sure that it's short enough that its file size doesn't exceed 4.3 gig or so. Then use Make BluRay to create a Prepared file. The program will create an ISO.
Then use the great free program ImgBurn to burn this ISO to a DVD. ImgBurn will convert it to a menu-structured BluRay file but will burn it to your DVD disc.
Precisely what I thought. Pulling my hair out watching the video posted. I do have Architect with the original 5.0 someplace. Perhaps that will do the trick and it is the very first original as stated.
You need to remember that [u]not [u]all BD players will accept these discs. I've made many discs using the methods Steve describes with the DVDA S 5 and P 5.2 first and later builds. They do play in my two cheap BD players and a couple of PS3s I've tested, but they don't play in the mid-range Sony I recently acquired.
This thread and esp. PeterDuke's new post there is worth reading.
I also found that DVDA 5.2 works fine and without any workarounds to make in effect an 'AVCHD blu-ray' on a 4.7 DVD. DVDA 6.0, as mentioned above, removed that functionality and has other issues. I hope SCS fixes up for the next version of Vegas/DVDA ( I also make standard Blu-rays on BD-R discs but find the lack of a modern interface and BD pop ups to be a bit aggravating although my customers always ask for the DVD format anyway). I went back to 5.2, uninstalling the 6.0. My so called AVCHD blu-rays play fine on an older Sony Blu-ray player and on my new Samsung as well as on a friend's two older Sony players and a PS3. The format isn't a standard but at 20 cents a disc, I'm not complaining for the purpose I use these discs. When Sony comes up with Vegas 14 (or 13 whatever the name is), I sure want to see a much improved DVDA.
