Is DVD Architect around anymore? I haven't used it in a while and today I need it to burn a DVD. I can't find it anywhere and the MAGIX site doesn't have a download link. What's up? Now how do I burn a DVD the correct way? Thank you.

DVDA was discontinued several years ago and Magix no longer sell it. If you had a purchased copy years ago it should be in your Magix account under "My products" and you can download it from there. Here's the link for logging in to your account https://www.magix.com/us/support/my-service-center/

If you go to the My Products listing on your MAGIX My Account, you should find there a download link for DVD Architect. I've got both DVDA 5.2 and 6.0 listed under My Products along with download links and serial numbers.

There are a few DVD Architect links towards the bottom of this post: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-where-can-i-download-vegas-pro-and-other-vegas-software--104782/

I've been catching up with DVDA posts here on the forum, and have seen several reports that DVDA 7 is problematic, and was only a minor update that did little to improve on DVDA 6.

I'm just starting to use 6 on a vastly more powerful machine that ones on which I created several commercially-available DVDs with DVDA. It seems to be working ok, although I've only tried in the creation of my first Blu-ray. (So far, some file compatibility problems, but using the Sony AVC rendering template, I've been able to get something written that works.

Do I dare give 7 a shot, or should I just stick with 6?

Thanks for any sage advice...

I've had no problems with DVDA7 on Win10 creating both DVD and Blu-ray. I don't know why some find it problematic. I now have Win 11 and DVDA7 is installed and working although as yet I haven't finished putting together a full disk to create an iso file. I usually burn outside of DVDA with Nero or ImgBurn. Nowadays my Blu-ray disk burning is only very occasionally. I haven't burnt a DVD for several years.

I always feed DVDA compliant files and prefer the Sony AVC stream files.
