Will Vegas allow me to....

Bought Studio 8, HFX pro, Title Deko and a few other bits and bobs with the express purpose of authoring DVD's with 5.1 surround sound. I was a bit naive and thought all DVD editing software had AC-3 encoding, as it happens I am still trying to find one :S

So my question is this, if I buy Vegas 4.0 will I be able to edit my home movies and then output them to DVD with some nice 5.1 surround sound, without having to purchase any other software? BTW I have everything else, capture card, burner etc.

Oh I have 1 more question, is Vegas anywhere near as bug ridden as Pinnacle Studio 8? It took me 6 months just to tweak my system enough to be able to create a 1 hour DVD, I really could not face going through all that again with Vegas.

If you get Vegas 4.0 +DVD then you'll have Vegas, DVD Architect, the 5.1 surround sound encoder, and the AC3 encoder. If you only buy Vegas by itself then you won't have any of the other parts. Each can be added separately, but each of the separate parts costs about as much as getting the whole package combined, so there's not much sense in buying them separately.
