This is a small workaround to use an old registered version of dvd architect 4.5 (32 bits version shipped with vegas studio platinum 9!) with new version of Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 17 (which is not bundled with this version anymore) when using the "Make Movie" button in VMS, instead of getting an error. In this situation, because dvd architect 4.5 does not support blu ray, it can just be used for dvd design which is enough for me (no Blu-ray support in this old architect version).

Tested Requirements:

• Windows 10 (build 19042)
• DVD architect 4.5d (build 107)
• Vegas Movie Studio platinum 17 (build 204)

This installation assumes that dvd architect is installed under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\DVD Architect Studio 4.5\dvdarchst45.exe" (the batch file content below may be tweaked if your path is different) and that a startup batch file is created under user created directory "C:\Winutil\Vegas2dvd".

Steps:

1. Create a batch file inside folder "C:\Winutil\Vegas2dvd\vegas2dvdst.bat"
2. Import in the registry the content of ""vegas2dvd.reg" by double clicking on the file with an administrative windows account.
    

This will allow to use the "Make Movie" button when selecting and clicking the choice "Burn it to a DVD or Blu-Ray disk" and provides the project media files to an automaticly started dvd architect 4.5 instance (once the "Send to DVD Architect" button is pressed in VMS).
