People like you are........a real godsend! So helpful in understanding what is a quite complex programme for us oldies and enabling us to get to grips with this new technology. Thanks!
Fantastic! Thanks for this information. I was at my wits end about to ditch the programme and switching to some other programme.....I have managed to write a disc now...so will persevere with this Vegas further. Thanks one again for your assistance!!
I understand DVDs and the separate video and audio files. I use Vegas Pro and make DVDs from the projects with DVD Architect too and I've never rendered the video and audio tracks separately. In DVD Architect, I just double-click on the file in the Explorer area or drag the file to the work space area and hit Burn DVD and the DVD creates fine. I've never rendered the tracks separately in Vegas, and my DVDs work perfectly ? That's what I was getting at, sir Zenolla!
A further note on my previous response about your separate audio & video renders: you selected a separate video render format & rendered the video and then you selected a separate audio render format and then rendered it. I always just select the output format, such as DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen, etc., & then "tick" the "include" audio on the audio tab ... and then render ... just one render process. The DVDs, AVCHD & BluRays always have burned & played fine. That's what I was getting at.
The structure of the AVCHD is a group of folders (AVCHDTN & BDMV) similar to Blu-rays like the ones of DVD (Video ts and audio ts) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
Thanks! This was perfect for me! ;) I bought the Movie Studio 10 Platinum Suite back in 2012 and have been loving using Movie Studio, but am just now getting round to using DVD Architect. It's very cool! Very glad I bought this stuff!
On the very end of this tutorial you showed how to create chapter points in DVD Architect itself, but how do you add them to the menu so i can test them in the preview? Thanks
It sounds like you want to add a Scene Selection Menu. Right-click the video in "disc tree" (left side) and select Insert Scene Selection Menu. Follow screens that pop up. Then drag new Scene Selection menu onto Menu 1.
@@MovieStudioZen Indeed THAT was the bit I was after as well. Figuring out how to place the markers was discoverable (as they exist in the toolbar above the Architect timeline )... but how to not have to manually build the scene selection menus by hand was not.
Well I am an Edius editor and have just started using Architect. It sure is powerful and I only wished Edius had an intergrated Authoring software package like the Vegas>Architect marriage. I do a lot of two camera dance filming/editing and if someone can tell me how Vegas goes at mulitcamera editing then I just may be tempted to give it a go. I guess I could download the trial and test. OK Vegas lovers go for it give it a plug.
Ahhh, I can see my error, I was trying to take a shortcut and miss out the DVD Architect step and write straight from Vegas. I'm going to have another go and see if it works. Let you know!
Hey man!, do you know that you can create chapters in DVD Architect by pressing M after adding the media into the menu? Simply go down where the video is on the bottom timeline. Thanks anyway for the tutorial!, very knowledgeable!.
Great Video! Thanks. I am using Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.0, and DVD Architect Studio 5.0. I have followed these instructions VERY carefully three times now. Vegas Movie Studio is not adding an AVC file to the destination folder. Which is obviously not allowing me to import chapters... I am selecting "save project markers..." And using the same video selections that you do (only I select the NTSC version). Any ideas?
Great tutorial but I don't quite follow the part in where the audio is insert in Video Architect, I don't know if you forgot to mention or not. Thanks!
***** Well, here we got to a small issue: it didn't with my AVC-file. It's completely soundless. Now rendering it in MP4, as the other 'downloaded MP4's' did work with sound ;)
Also - do I need a blu-ray player/writer on my laptop to write blu-ray discs on Vegas? Or is it a format that Vegas induces? Showing my ignorance here...I imagine I would need a blu ray player/writer to do so...perhaps you can confirm this? Thanks again!
Problems persist. I have ticked the 'save project markers in rendered media file' box....and the end result dvd still doesn't have any chapters which I can skip through. Just one long track. Any ideas?
When a project is rendered - is this version stored anywhere? My laptop stops seeing my cd player and so after 2 /3 hours of rendering I am unable to write to the dvd player....which means I have to render all over again...another 3/4/5 hours . I was hoping I could retrieve the rendered version and go straight to the 'write dvd' part.
My sony vegas 11 doesn't have the option to save dolby digital. Is there an add on I have to install? It's not a free trial and I have DVDA. I don't know what the problem is :(
hi - I need my video with chapter points to be archived on a thumb drive and inserted in a large screen tv (vizio) with a usb port and media player, will this technique work for that kind of application - thanks - steve
11 and I also need to know the best rendering option. my film was recorded in 144ox1080 29fps audio 2 channel stereo 48khz. I use a sony hx300 camera. Please let me know where I am going wrong. Version vegas movie studio hd 11.0
So there's no way possible for me to complete this project is it a matching audio that's good I can use besides Dolby. There are other options which one to select. Also the safe area grid. My project goes over that grid but shows clearly when I hook up my hd tv to cpu. Will it do the same after I finished the dvda processes
I realize this is an old tutorial, however, things haven’t changed that much in a dozen years. I recently used one of your links to update my very old Vegas 14. I also have an equally old Sony DVD Architect Pro v.5. I followed your instructions here to the T but chapter breaks don’t transfer even though selecting all the right check boxes in the drop down (which is where those options are found in that Sony version). Even after setting chapters in Architect VOB’s are all empty except the 4th which contains 15 minutes of the 1 hr. 23 minute video? Any suggestions?

I'm new to Vegas Pro. To clarify since some time has passed since this was published... 1. Can I render just one of many chapters within a project? 2. If you have Chapters, will it automatically have them when you render as CZcams 1080p, then later burn the file to a DVD? 3. On a DVD that is Rendered as mentioned above, can you take a remote and advance between chapters? 4. Lastly, will the chapters show up in the Menu like a movie and or have the name of each chapter I assigned. Some of this is different but still trying to follow along to apply your tutorial to my VP 17 and situation, Thanks!
To clarify, DVD Architect is a retired product now and can no longer be purchased. However, you can still render video for making DVDs/Blu-rays, with latest versions of VEGAS Pro. 1. Yes you can render any section of a project in VEGAS Pro, by creating what is called a "Loop Region". 2. Chapters will only work in DVD Architect - they will not be recognised on CZcams. You must create Chapters on CZcams manually. 3. Yes, your DVD player remote can advance through Chapters created on a DVD, using DVD Architect (and VEGAS Pro or VEGAS Movie Studio). 4. Yes you can easily create a Chapter Menu page in any DVD Architect project, that uses the Chapters you created in VEGAS. There is a dedicated function to do this. 5.

Ya I'm too new to this. I don't get it. Vegas seems fancy enough. Youde think you could put chapters in. When I created DVDs on an old DVD Recorder by Toshiba (think vcr rca cables to DVD recorder) it would auto insert chapters every5 minutes. Ive never burned a physical DVD/BD from a Vergas Render, but I assume it does not auto chapter every 5 minutes. I don't know what Architect is, why youde want to use it other than Chapter things, how you would, where youde get it to do it or why Vegas doesn't. Seems like the most basic of desires for a Rendering to DVD to have at least Chapters without titles even would be better. But thanks. I think I'm not anything on par with any of your other pro subscribers. I had 2 strokes so cant work just trying something new
You don't seem to understand what I am saying, so I'll say it a different way. 1. Virtually no one is making DVDs anymore. 2. Back when people were making DVDs, the program you used to make a DVD was DVD Architect (a VEGAS product). 3. No program on Earth lets you create Chapters for CZcams. 4. You can burn a basic DVD with the current version of VEGAS Pro, but not like using DVD Architect. Making discs is basically dead now.
I understand. I just render it CZcams seems like the easiest less problem rendering. But I don't actually want to what chapter forward in CZcams. But I'm old-fashioned I want to make DVDs sometimes. Like family movies in DVDs with chapters. I mean it's great to have everything online and digital but when the but when the internet goes to crap or some terrorist attack then nobody can watch TV or anything. And I'll be sitting there with the old fashioned DVD player and DVDs and everybody will be over at my place. I'm going to charge admission at that point. Or depending on how bad the planet gets food and provisions to watch movies. 😁 I wonder if there's any software you can use to burn DVDs with chapters? The question might annoy you since there's no DVD architect but I appreciate it.
Great tutorial! :D I need a bit of further advice on this :) I have a playlist of several separate clips on my DVD (a 'play all' button) but when I go into the preview I cannot navigate through them using the 'next button', but I have to fast forward. When I try to click next in the preview, it doesn't jump to the next clip and when I select the playlist outside of the preview, it has them all marked as "chapter 1". Is there a way of marking each clip in a playlist as a separate chapter so I can skip through them with the 'next' button? :)
Okay, I started to think that might be the case... I guess the alternative is to edit them all into one large video, add chapter points to that file and include a scene selection menu to start from different points? Thanks very much for your reply, I really appreciate it :)
Your tutorials are great! I am hoping you can help with a problem I am having with DL discs. DVDA 5.0 tells me to add a point between 2 time stamps.(there is not a list of options to select from) I have been adding a scene/chapter point and then the disc menu actually uses that point instead of using it only for the disc layer break. This messes with then menu options. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help you can provide!
Working out these types of problems can get frustrating. So I can understand what is going on better, can you please copy and paste your message into my forum.

Are you using Dual Layer 8.5GB discs? If your project is large and you're using dual layer discs, DVD Architect needs to have a "break point" inserted, for when the data jumps from the First Layer of disc to the Second Layer.
No, they can't be copied. However, if you created the original project in Movie Studio Platinum or Vegas Pro, you can use the ONE project and render it to DVD and Blu-ray formats. If you add the Chapter Points to the original project file, they will be saved with the DVD version and Blu-ray version. If you want to output to both DVD & Blu-ray, set the Project to Blu-ray settings and render to DVD and Blu-ray.
Which exact program versions are you using? Meaning, which version of Movie Studio are you using? Which version of DVD Architect are you using? There are two methods for creating Chapter Points/Markers. 1. Create them inside of your Vegas project and render them into the file - when this is imported into DVDA, the chapter points will appear. 2. You should be able to import ANY video into DVDA and add Chapter Points here. You MUST double click the video file inside of "Tree" for DVD in Left column. This will import video into timeline. Only here can you add Chapter Points. Press M for marker. If you need more help after this, it might be better to post your message on my forum here: www.moviestudiozen.com/forum/index Regards Derek
when I render my audio and insert it into dvd architect, I still have no sound with my video.. I double click on my vid insert it plays but no sound.. I click on my sound insert it plays sound but no vid. and also whats the difference by making a dvd this way from your tutorials vs just rendering a vid and sending it straight to dvd architect? thxs in advance
You never import Audio into a DVDA project. DVDA does that for you, but you must follow the rules. Before I say anything else, which programs are versions are you using ? Movie Studio Platinum ??? DVD Architect Studio ? Vegas Pro ? DVD Architect Pro ?
I do not have a tutorial made with that version, however you should be able to adapt the tutorial for version 13. Please read, because it will make more sense. www.moviestudiozen.com/free-tutorials/dvd-architect-studio-50/528-how-to-render-video-dvd-bluray-menus-sony-movie-studio-platinum
Zen, My apologies maybe I misspoke. The tutorial im reference about is on this video im committing on.. vegas movie studio Platinum 11. In this tutorial you showed how you had to render the video and audio and then you have to insert both video and audio into dvd architect. My issue is after I have render and inserted audio and video into dvd architect I still have no audio with my video.. In this video you showed once you inserted the audio file into dvd architect you just click on the video file and then the audio appeared. In my case thats not happening.. I have my audio and video inserted into dvd architect , but when I play my video no sound. I will check out the link for vmsp 13. Thxs for the feedback..
In the tutorial I linked for you, I DID NOT say anything about importing BOTH Video and Audio. Obviously you need to render a VIDEO and AUDIO file with Movie Studio. There are TWO ways to make a DVD. One method is when you render everything yourself MANUALLY - that is an advanced method, so I am not talking about that now. So I sent you the EASY method. If you follow the instructions in the tutorial for version 13, Movie Studio will import any needed files for you. Please start a new test project and follow the instructions in the linked tutorial, before asking any more questions. The tutorial I sent you, will fix your problem. If you want to learn the advanced method for preparing video for DVD, read this in-depth FAQ. It will explain everything for you. www.moviestudiozen.com/doctor-zen-faq/167-how-to-render-a-dvd-for-dvd-architect

If your project is large and you're using dual layer discs, DVD Architect needs to have a "break point" inserted, for when the data jumps from the First Layer of disc to the Second Layer.
Vegas Movie Studio Version 11
Can I copy the chapter points from a dvd project to another blu-ray project?
No, they can't be copied.
However, if you created the original project in Movie Studio Platinum or Vegas Pro, you can use the ONE project and render it to DVD and Blu-ray formats. If you add the Chapter Points to the original project file, they will be saved with the DVD version and Blu-ray version.
If you want to output to both DVD & Blu-ray, set the Project to Blu-ray settings and render to DVD and Blu-ray.
Unfortunately i add the markers later on Architect.And the file I used there is a dvd template not blu-ray
a dvd!
It's not giving me that AVC file to input the chapter markers? Do you know why?
Which exact program versions are you using?

There are two methods for creating Chapter Points/Markers.

I will check out the link for vmsp 13.
Thxs for the feedback..
In the tutorial I linked for you, I DID NOT say anything about importing BOTH Video and Audio.
Obviously you need to render a VIDEO and AUDIO file with Movie Studio.
There are TWO ways to make a DVD.
One method is when you render everything yourself MANUALLY - that is an advanced method, so I am not talking about that now. So I sent you the EASY method.
If you follow the instructions in the tutorial for version 13, Movie Studio will import any needed files for you.
Please start a new test project and follow the instructions in the linked tutorial, before asking any more questions. The tutorial I sent you, will fix your problem.
If you want to learn the advanced method for preparing video for DVD, read this in-depth FAQ. It will explain everything for you.
