Sony Vegas Help

[koolpc]

I installed Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 (Full Program bought) Captured video but it won't burn to DVD as it says i need some program to do this (DVD Achitect Studio) ?

I was able to burn it through Nero but no sound was heard, just the video?

Any advice would be great.

Just save the end result to file and use another program to burn onto disk .I use Sonic to do this , excellent program and came with my early versions of Serif Movie plus .I bought and use the Movie Studio Plat... but always render to file and author with sonic .

Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum should come with a standalone program called DVD Architect Studio
It is in its own right a DVD authoring program but it works seamlessly with Vegas by the fact that when you output video as a multiplexed audio video file or " DVD Architect" templates ( separately) it works to ensure that DVD Architect does not re encode DVD ready files
You don't need Nero in this instance unless you especially want to use it
As such Vegas does not integrate DVD authoring into its main editing program
Im surprised rickyt found it necessary to use Sonic unless he simply prefers it
I similarly use Ulead Movie Factory to author DVDs from video edited in various other programs ( including Vegas) but that is only out of preference, not necessity as DVD Architect ( studio) is part of the Platinum Package ( and the full Vegas Pro)

"Im surprised rickyt found it necessary to use Sonic unless he simply prefers it"

Yes ,I do prefer it as I've used it for years .I often just render my video files using different programs , Vegas ,Pinnacle ,Serif ,etc and author using Sonic .......................Why ? I'll never know :-)

DVD Achitect Studio is not with my package unless i did not install it? I will check

Not a problem, I also state that I use Ulead Movie Factory to author DVDs ( as well as Ulead Movie Workshop ( although they stopped developing in it on ver2)
And this is from mpegs from Avid Liquid, Vegas, Pro Show Gold, Pinnacle Studio, Premiere Elements ect
Doing this allows edits made at separate time from different sources to all be combined in one DVD as different "chapters"
It also give the sort of flexibility that built in DVD arthoring doesnt seem to have
My point is that if you had Vegas MS you would also know of the existence of DVD Architect Studio ( which can be used jus as you use Sonic or I use Movie factory ) and point the OP to it rather than any other program in the first instance
He didnt find Nero Vision helpful with audio did he?

It should be.
It tends to be installed separately with its own serial no ect

Just installed it again and still not there!!

Also, i managed to burn the DVD with Nero but no sound came out!! Just the video. Why is that?

It worked fine when i used Nero to capture and burn though!

My copy of ( an earlier version) does not automatically install with the main program
If you have a CD try exploring it to see if it is in another folder

What about the audio not working? Any idea?

In Nero
Not on the off chance.

Firstly, does the mpeg2 you input to Nero have audio?
Secondly are you outputting an audio format that Nero doesnt support or more likely, does Nero support the audio format your file outputted from Vegas has?
The answer is somewhere there
Nonetheless a Full Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum package should have DVDA studio

Thanks. I need to look harder then.

Good luck

Just play it back in any media player
VLC ( very handy) or even WMP

You need to know from Vegas ( when outputting) which audio format is being used ... Since you specify that vegas creates the outputted file you can check before the file is rendered out

Also when creating the DVD in Nero.. what is the default audio format?
I suspect that the problem lies in the input not output settings but could easily be either TBH
