    You would just make …
    You would just make a video in Sony Vegas and save it to your computer. DVD Architect puts your movies into a format that is only appropriate for a DVD.

  2. howdoesthatwork says:

    The instructions …
    The instructions for doing this are too complex for this channel. They are in my DVD Architect tutorials on DVD on Amazon. Someone else on Youtube might have addressed this question, but I have not made and don’t plan on making any videos here on this subject.

  3. howdoesthatwork says:

    You don’t want to …
    You don’t want to use any compressed files in DVD Architect. It gets confused. Use the raw .avi. Please see previous comments. DVD Architect compresses the files, so compressing a compressed file doesn’t work. It thinks the file is something other than what it is. Divx is compressed and should not be used as an import into DVD Architect.

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me?

    I used divx converter to compress an avi file and I want to use it on Sony DVD architect….but the program is saying that its far bigger than it actually is….too big to put on a dvd!! :(

    Could you please give me some advice on how to compress the video files for use on this program??

    I’m sorry I don’t know anything about Windows DVD maker. I’ve only used Sony DVD Architect and have always loved it.

  9. howdoesthatwork says:

    The best quality …
    The best quality you will get is .avi. It is a large file, but it is what you want to import into DVD Architect.
    You don’t open DVD architect from Sony Vegas Pro. You open DVD Architect from your installed copy of DVD Architect. It is a separate program. Then you use the instructions in this video to create a DVD from the .avi files you rendered in Sony Vegas.
    Thanks for posting this here.

  10. exefile says:

    My question is …
    My question is regarding to the quality in the final movie, how to render my movies so I can have the best quality possible on the DVD’s ?
    And also how to open DVD architect from Sony Vegas Pro once you have finish the editing?
    Thank you for your time and keep posting your great tutorials!

    You have to pay for it if you download it and use it for more than 30 days, but as I said before – it’s free if you purchase Sony Vegas Movie Studio, whatever version.

    I take Hockey …
    I take Hockey videos f or my grandsons, and they are extremely happy with the way they turn out. However, they now want me to have the time displayed from the scoreboard shown at the same time or in other words Overlayed onto the recording of the movie.
    is there a way, I keep thinking about using a chromakey, but can I resize the time movie so it want be the same size as the hockey movie.
    Appreciate any help…

    It should be telling you how much room you have left on the DVD you are going to be burning. It creates a footprint of the files that will be on it and tells you how much more you can add.

    well…that´s kinda …
    well…that´s kinda weird ‘cuz it says 12.06 Gb when I actually have 40 Gb of free space!!!anyways thanks…btw I already tried burning a dvd and it went pretty good…so…guess I did it!!!

  21. howdoesthatwork says:

    Also, I don’t even use PM. I am too busy to do that. I answer these questions as I get time for them in between producing commercials. Thanks for asking your questions.

    I don’t know. I …
    I don’t know. I can’t tell unless I am in front of your computer, watching what you are doing. Are you able to burn a disc no problem without DVD Architect?

    If so, did you let your computer format the disc before trying to start writing to it in DVD Architect. If so, you need to let DVD architect prep your disc instead of your computer. Sometimes Vista will mess up your disc for DVD architect by formatting it.

  23. howdoesthatwork says:

    Tells you always …
    Tells you always how much free disk space you have. It affects everything about the burning of the disc.

  24. MapleDarkNight says:

    is it normal that …
    is it normal that in the right lower corner appears a sign that says “space on disc 12.06 Gb”(or something) I don´t know if this is gonna affect the burning of the disc or something???

    (continued)
    #3 This software has never let me down. Been using it since version 6 of Sony Vegas. Have made hundreds of DVDs in the way described. Comparing this to an Apple Mac and Final Cut Pro is no comparison. (my opinion, sorry…but the final product speaks for itself). I’ve seen product from Final Cut Pro, and from Sony Vegas. Side by side, in my humble opinion, there’s no comparison between a .avi compressed by windows media encoder or the same .avi compressed into .mov.
