View Full Version : Making DVD's from Vegas

When I want to just make a few DVD's without any menus, I simply go to "Burn DVD" in the "Tools" menu. However, I find it very odd that Vegas does not seem to allow more than one at a time and therefore you have to wait for it to render for each one. Also, there are no settings to play with re bit rate etc. so is this method capable of producing a high quality DVD ?

Surely there must be a way that once it has rendered for the first DVD that you can simply go to this file and create another disc, without having to wait each time, or is Vegas that odd ?

Also, for a Standard Def. but high-quality DVD from an HDV or AVCHD source , I usually set my preferences to PAL DV widescreen but I cannot seem to find how to create a DVDA file in case I want to use it in DVDA later. I have read where it says to render the Audio separately, but I can't fathom how to actually do it.

Suggestions please.

You could always create an ISO file from the first DVD with ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) and then burn as many copies as you want.

Or create a single movie (no menus) project in DVD A.

Thank you both. I have downloaded imageburn & the other site is quite helpful.

I eventually worked out the rendering in VP11 for DVDA with the two pass encoding. I checked the box and as the sound was there in DVDA I assume the two pass was done in the Vegas render automatically.
Is this correct ? - Also, there is lots of other stuff in there which I just left as is, or is it better to fine tune some settings for better quality ?
