You won't be able to burn DVDs with the demo version of DVD Arch, just FYI. There is a demo project you can burn, but that's it as far as I know.

To render to DVD, you'll typically use either the DVD stream in Vegas, or the DVD Architect stream. Don't use the NTSC Mpeg stream.
However (I could be wrong) you can't encode to MPEG with the demo version of Vegas due to licensing issues.

For DVDs you haveto create two files and Audio File and a Video file.

Video should be rendered to mpeg-2 using the DVDA template.

Audio can be rendered to AC-3 using the default. template.

Hey, I'd suggest buying it now. You get a free upgrade to Vegas 6 & DVDA 3 if you buy now, so if you plan on getting it there's no reason to wait. :)

Also, videoguys.com (apparently) has sales on their copies of V5. I belive those get the free upgrade too.
