For newcomers, the interface might seem a little jam packed and confusing, but it’s easy to get up to speed pretty quickly. I was suddenly whisked back to my Final Cut Studio days, and was back in DVD Studio Pro like application that, for lack of a better description, felt like that old comfortable jacket that you pull out of a closet after not wearing it for a while. Once I downloaded, installed and launched DVDA, as soon as it hit the main interface, I had the strangest feeling of dejavu. DVD Architect is not only packaged with Vegas, but is available as a standalone application for a pretty reasonable $99, so let’s take a look and see what it’s all about.įirst thing that’s important to point out is that DVD Architect (DVDA) is a Windows only application, but if you’re a Mac user, most of us are running either Parallels or Boot camp, so the Windows/Mac argument is a non-issue. Trust me, there are a ton of consumer level programs out there that will make DVD’s/BR’s, but I need something that was at least up to the level of Encore/DVDSP, and there has always been an alternative out there that Vegas users are familiar with, and that’s DVD Architect.
