4.0 out of 5 stars A very versatile DVD design program for the bucks., October 1, 2008
By James P. Hawkins (Middletown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This program does not come with a fancy video editor nor is it a suite of tools. That's why you get more bang for the buck. If you already have other tools, such as Sonic EMC or Premiere Elements you get video editors and other tools, but neither of those create the DVD as well as DVD Architect.

For example, Premiere Elements allows you to create automatically chaptered movies by allowing you to but chapter marks in the movie editor, but it does not allow you to create a DVD with more than one movie. It has a nice video editor, but a very weak DVD authoring tool. Sonic EMC allows multiple movies and slide shows, but does not create chapter marked movies.

DVD Architect allows both and a lot more. You add setups for sound tracks and easily create a tree of menus of practically any structure you want.
You can access DVD virtual commands in a limited way through the scripting tool. It could be better in that area.

If you buy Vegas Pro 8, you get DVD Architect with it and you have a great deal more power than any of the lowest price Video/DVD authoring combos.

I chose Vegas Pro 8 with DVD Architect because I was looking for a mid-priced tool (half the price of Premiere Pro), which is far more versatile than the low end packages. Although it may not be as powerful as Premiere Pro or Mac's Final Cut, it does a great job and you don't have to pay $800 for Premiere Pro.

I would have liked Premier Pro, but it was too expensive for me PLUS it does not yet support AVCHD files from my camcorder.

Sonic advertises support for AVCHD in Roxio Creator 2009, but what they really did was add a converter, which converts all the clips from your camera to mpg files, since the video editor "VideoWave" has not been changed to handle native AVCHD. Each step of conversion is a loss in quality. Sonic EMC also does a very sloppy job of batch processing the files so you can't walk away and just let it convert everything. You must select a folder every time it finishes a clip. Having 30 years of programming experience, that could have been done better by simply modifying the batch loop.

I still like the Sonic suite because it has a lot of useful tools that are not included with these other programs.

If you have an earlier Sonic Video Wave or EMC 8 or 9 and don't want to spend the money, you might find an AVCHD converter online for free or very cheap, which essentially accomplishes the same thing.

Bottom line: You get what you pay for and when you hold your budget, you have to compromise one thing for another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Produce good DVD quality, June 4, 2009
By Remmib (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I've been using Nero vision express 4 (free) to transfer DV video to DVD and I am not satisfy with the DVD quality after transcoding. I tried other free tools such DVD flick and DVD styler, and didn't get any better. DVD architect is very powerful, and yet produce very good DVD quality. The rendering time seems longer though, but I believe best quality is more important than quick transcoding.

This is a DVD authoring tool, as such, it doesn't provide fancy video editing. People need to understand this before complaining about lack of video editing features, etc.
The tool isn't intuitive, but it has the "show me how" tutorial which is helpful. Overall it's quite easy to use once after you read through some of the tutorials and
I was able to start burning DVD within 15 min. of first install. (Nevertheless, I never need to use help/tutorial for other software so this knocks 1 star down)

Overall this is a powerful DVD authoring tool that produces high quality DVD.
I am using the trial version now but plan to buy the Vegas Studio suite which only cost slightly more but includes a powerful video editor and this DVD Arcthitect Studio tool. Another good thing about this product is that you can try for 30 days free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, December 12, 2008
By J. Jones (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For the most part this product is very convenient and easy to use, and is great for simple dvd projects. The program can be somewhat difficult to navigate when trying to perform more technical advanced operations but for the most part setting a custom background is easy, along with customizing buttons for video selection, menu setup and navigation etc. Overall easy to use.
