Question DVD Authoring software

Hey all, I just filmed my 1st four shows, and I need to get them authored. I've never done it before, and am looking for suggestions on software for my PC before I go out & buy a piece of junk.

I used a Sony DCR-SR40 to film, they look great, I just need a program that will be capable of adding a separate audio source to the video footage.

Thanks in advance, this community is always there to help out

Sony Vegas 7 to capture, synch, and render
Sony DVD Architect 4 to make your menus and build video_ts folder

Re: DVD Authoring software

Is this some sort of hoax?

Says that Sony Vegas 7.0 is $32

I am not familiar with that store. I got mine from Sony. You may be able to get a used version from ebay or something. You don't need vegas 7. I'd say you could be safe back to vegas 5. DVD architect 3 allows you to do dual layer. I wouldn't go below 3 on the Architect. I think they have a more introductory piece of software called movie studio which I think is around 200 bucks.

I have not used MyDVD. so I can't really comment. I bet it is crap coming from Roxio though.

The one you linked is probably just slightly limited but looks like it does the job. keep in mind I have not used it.... and I am judging it based on my experiences with vegas and DVD architect which I love.

link to free trial . . . .try it out.

Re: DVD Authoring software

OK, I bought the Vegas Movie Studio + DVD platinum, but I am having an issue with it.

I have the video & Audio & Text overlays all laid out in the Vegas part of it, but HOW do I get it into the DVD Architect side so I can add Menu's?

Also, when I rendered the DVD, it came in at 14+ GIG?! It is just under an hour long, so this needs to be changed.

Thanks for the help so far salt, really is appreciated
