No, you can't burn a DL disc with DVD1. Yes, you have to purchase Vegas 6 to upgrade to DVDA3. Sorry.

You don't need to upgrade if you don't want too. Author your project as you would normally with DVDA1 and purchase a copy of CopytoDVD (significantly cheaper than upgrading to Vegas 6). www.vso-software.com

CopyToDVD should be able to insert the layer break at the correct point when burning the DL media. Better yet, they have a fully functional 30 day trial - so just download the trial and make sure it works.

Actually, there's so many improvements between DVDA1 and DVDA3 that you probably need to upgrade anyway. There's a ton of new power available in DVDA3. (not to mention all the improvements made in Vegas 5 and 6)

Agreed! I've been using DVD-A since its initial release. With the exception of the AC3 DVD-A1 is very weak. DVD-A2's end actions enabled me to retire Sonic ReelDVD and version 3's PSD and DLT compatibilty eliminated Adobe Encore from my workflow.

It is a worthwhile upgrade.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond to my post. You've given me a couple of options to choose from.
