Has there been any discussion regarding a stand-alone version of DVD Architect 5? I have other "consumer level" video editors that allow the building of Blu-Ray menus and am stunned that the only way to do this with Sony is to buy a $600 package.
If you already have the standalone version of Vegas Pro, then email customer service and ask them for an upgrade to the full version including DVDA Pro and AC-3 encoding. I did just this a week ago and am very happy I did--and customer service made it very easy to make the upgrade.
I'm using Vegas Movie Studio that came with DVDA 4.5 and was amazed that a package touting its Blu-Ray capabilities can make a Blu-Ray menu! SEVERAL other "consumer level" products can. I really wanted to learn VMS and stick with it but am now forced to use other products in conjunction.
