Click on "File" then "Render as" for whatever format you want from the menu.

i would assume that's mpeg2, but will it take care of the audio track as well?

sorry to sound so ignorant, but the literature that came with it isn't that great.

there IS an MPEG2 default render -

don't use it for DVDA

Where is sez "default" there's a scroll box - Scroll down to
NTSC for Architect render (for pix) and then use the Dolby AC3 for a separate track.
If you name them with the same name, Architect will automatically import hem both

Dornier,
Vegas Movie Studio has a very intelligent setup for doing this; the professional version of Vegas requires you to have a little math ability if you're making vids longer than an hour.
You might try the DVD Prep tool to get you going, it manages both audio and video, or maybe read this article that might also help you.
Short of it is, use the DVDA NTSC stream template, and then render the AC3 to a file of the same name, DVDA will marry them when you go to make the DVD, if the video and audio are in the same folder.

I keep some notes of bits I copy and paste together from tvarious posts in this forum that I call "The Best of the Vegas Forum." Here is what I have on rendering and DVDA:-

Rendering and DVDA

Rendering to MPEG-2 from within Vegas is best. You can take advantage of the 2-pass VBR encoding, which DVDA does not have. Also, there are many other MPEG settings you can change. Rendering your MPEG & AC-3 files in Vegas and bringing those files into DVDA. Give files same name and DVDA will import both automatically.

Rendering outside of DVDA gives

a) more control of the encoder parameters
b) and no re-encoding of your source media every time you do a test burn in DVDA
