Time to burn onto a Dvd

[New_Zealand]

I have my film almost edited and now looking at burning it onto a DVD so I can see how it looks. Anyway long story short I'm on Vegas 9.0 and Vegas Dvd 5.0 and I have no clue how to even start the process. On IDVD (mac machine) it is easy LOL But using Vegas Dvd I'm going hmmmmmm. All I want to do is burn the project I don't need chapters. I tried looking on youtube but didn't find anything that was helpful. Thanks

While written for earlier versions of Vegas and DVD Architect, everything still applies.

In Vegas 10 the easiest method is what Sony calls ceating a DVD from the timeline, not sure if this is in vegas9 also
Click tools, burn disc, select dvd.

If this is not in Vegas 9, you need to render to mpeg2, and then open DVD architect to make the DVD, there is an option to just burn a straight movie without chapters etc

Vegas 9 has that - How much different will the quality be by doing the - tools, burn and select vs render mpeg2?

The only drawback I've found using the tool-burn DVD option is that you're limited to a one hour video.
A lot of my stuff is longer than that (e.g. plays) so I use a custom mpeg-2 render to maximize quality.
