Best practice when creating the DVD

[snapware]

OK, so i have about 5 Vegas project files that I am going to want to combine into 1 main movie for a DVD.

Is it best to render each project, and then load everything into 1 timeline and re-render into 1 large file?

I was concerned that the double rendering would result in a loss of quality, or would it not make a difference?

I plan on using Vegas & Architect.

Thoughts?

Don't know about Vegas but on my editor you can load project files into a single project if that makes sense. Even from a few select applications from the same vendor.

yes, that is probably want i want to do, but i couldn't figure it out, anybody know how i can load projects within projects in Vegas? and then all i need to do is render 1 time.

Vegas 5 does not support adding project files to the timeline. If you need to use version 5 you will have to render as DV-AVI and import these into Vegas. Upgrading to Vegas 6, which I would recommend anyway, will give you the possibility of nesting projects, in other words, add vegas project files to the vegas time line.

is Import >> Media, and then dragging the .veg file into the timeline nesting it?
