How to make a DVD with Menus using DVD Architect Studio (Part 2)

: By: Derek Moran; In: DVD Architect; Published: 15 February 2011; Last Updated: 02 September 2022

This is Part Two of my tutorial showing how to create a DVD that has Menus, Sub-Menus and Navigation, using DVD Architect Studio and Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.

You can use the exact same process for making a BluRay Disc also.

Here is the link to PART ONE if you missed it:

How to make a DVD with MENUS Part 1 using Sony DVD Architect Studio 5.0

*Special Update - please read

Personally, I think the best way to make DVDs and BluRay Discs with Movie Studio and Vegas Pro, is to learn the "manual old fashioned way". This gives you maximum control over all settings and features. I have written an article in the FAQ section which explains the full workflow for preparing a video in Movie Studio or Vegas Pro for DVD/BluRay Disc production. Please follow this link:
How do I render a video in Vegas Movie Studio suitable for turning into a DVD using DVD Architect Studio ?

Two Questions. First, I edited a video in Vegas and inserted markers for chapter points. Is there a way to use the menus to connect the chapter points (IE click a menu to go to a different chapter point)

Question 2, can I assume when you load the video, it did not matter what format it was and the program took care of that during rendering. Thanks, hope you are keeping healthy,

  1. Right-click video in Menu Tree and select Insert Scene Selection Menu
  You can set how menu thumbnails are created per page.
  Now drag Scene Selection (Page 1) onto Menu 1 screen
  OR
  Drag individual scenes, to create links on Menu 1
  2. Yes, DVDA will re-render most videos to conform with DVDA specifications

Your videos on DVD Rendering andthe use of Architect are superb. I only need to create DVD's occasionally so can never remember the sequences. These videos are brilliant. I keep them book marked for each occasion. Easy and clear demonstrations and your suggestions are really useful. Thanks again

Hi Derek - your video on making a dvd with menus (part 2) looks like the exact thing I've been looking for! But just as I thought that the long nights of tearing my hair out were at an end, it seems that the tutorial only plays for a couple of minutes before crashing!

I've tried it a few times but with the same result every time, unfortunately. Is it possible to amend it from your end? As i say, it looks to be my holy grail, and it's frustrating to be so close and yet so far!

Regards,

E G Roberts

  Hi there
  This video has been on YouTube for a couple of years now and has always worked. Most likely the YouTube Server that this video is living on is playing up, so there is nothing that I can do until YT fixes it.
  However, there is another thing you can try which sometimes works. Clear out ALL the history for your Internet Browser. Make sure to delete the cache and cookies as well. YouTube creates lots of cookies when videos are played. If these cookies are corrupted they can cause persistent errors. Also re-boot your Modem at the same time.
  now try and replay the video.
  Regards
  Derek :)
