Can anybody give me the rundown on which DVD packages (preferably cheap) that you know will take a Vegas (Main Concept) MPEG2 and write a DVD without re-rendering the MPEG? I've tried every option I can think of with Pinnacle Studio 8 - It always wants to re-render the Mainconcept MPEG.
Ulead's DVD Movie Factory. About $40 street. It accepts MPEG-2 rendered with the Main Concept encoder and does not render it again. The only limitation is the templates for menu choices are somewhat limited. Otherwise a first rate product and cheap too. Free fully functional 30 day demo at the Ulead site.
Another option which has richer features and relatively low price is Dazzle DVD Complete at 99$ download: includes motion menus. I have tried both Ulead Movie Factory and Dazzle and finally settled for Dazzle. (the Dazzle demo I beleive is somewhat limited in features, but do a search here and check out what others have had to say about it...)
