I use Vegas 6 Pro, (the current ver. is Pro 8). I bought because the DVDs can be copy protected when burned, to some degree. But I found Vegas to be difficult to learn. I had to buy a book and a video learning DVD. I knew what I wanted to do I just didn't know where/how it was to start it. Like editing text titles in DVD Architect, I'm use to double click the text box and an insert text marker opens for text but not in Vegas, you go to a drop down box and select 'text edit'. So that is what the learn curve is about. If I knew someone to show me it would be faster and easier to learn. One of the easiest parts of Vegas is cutting (split) and deleting clips. It's right there in front, easy to find in help,etc. But Vegas is a very powerful video editing software. The audio and video tracks are on separate time line so you can edit or delete one or the other, or both. There are a lot of individual choices to choose for editing & burning in Vegas, what makes it powerful and complex. I will use it from now on.
The easiest Video editing software I found to use and learn, which I do not hear much about, is PowerDirector 'Suite' by Cyberlink. It is very easy to use to makes a complete DVD movie. There are many 'transitions' templates to pick from, for using between clips. And many action/motion 'title' templates to use also. I'd say if you never made a DVD movie before, if you get Power Director Suite (ver5 or 6), you would have a short DVD movie made the same day. (You may have to try several time). What i found best, is to burn/render the DVD file to your 'hard drive' first, rather than burn/render your complete MPEG-2 clips directly to DVD disk. Then you can use the same software or other (like Nero) to 'Burn DVD-Video File'.
---HOW TO:
Make/EDIT MPEG-2 clips .... Render/Produce (1hr.mpg=5hr rendered-in sony) to final completed MPEG-2 movie (.mpg) .... Burn/make-DVD to a (DVD) folder on computer hard drive .... (then) Burn your DVD folders from HD to DVD disks ..... = Movie in DVD formatted disk...
