rendering on AC3 pro with Sony Vegas

[Sepu]

I tried to render audio files with the AC3 Pro plugin with Sony Vegas Pro 10 but I get an error saying I need to install DVD Architect Pro and register it to have this working.

I did that, with DVD Architect Pro 5.2 but it doesn't work anyway.

Any suggestion?
Thank you
Chris

There's a separate fix to make the ac-3 pro plugin work (it's a bit complicated though).

Use wav instead.

the problem is that the audio file is 4 hours, and I can't render that on wav

"AC3 studio" is so different from AC3 Pro?

You cannot use AC3 Studio on a Blu-Ray, because it is only intended for use on a DVD.

Import your audio as WAV into DVDA and set your project properties to AC3 audio. DVDA will then render your WAV to AC3. The quality might not be the best though, so double check if the audio is ok before you burn to disc.

I can't render to WAV because my audio track is too big.
I tried to uninstall Vegas 10, 11 and DVD Architect 5.2 Pro. Then I reinstalled

DVD Architect first
Sony Vegas 11
Sony Vegas 10

Every program is registered but I always get the same error :S

Btw there isn't an AC3 Pro option to render on Vegas 11 (or is the Dolby Digital AC-3 Studio? I don't think so)

EDIT: Found. It was easier of what I expected

There is a seperate programm that unlocks the AC-3 Pro plugin.

It has nothing to do with wether you have DVDA installed or not actually.

What I meant was: Import your audio as WAV into your DVDA project, but set AC3 as your project's audio.
This way DVDA will convert your WAV into AC3 once you compile the disc.

the problem with my audio is that I've many tracks joined togheter to join and I can't render it as WAV from Vegas. It says the file is too big!
Now that the AC-3 Pro is unlocked, I rendered the tracks with this format

Thanks for you help anyway
