DVD Architect - What is the replacement

I really liked DVD architect. Has any of it been carried into a new product, such as Magix Movie Edit Pro? I've got a bunch of old Sony Handycam disks I'd still like to turn into DVD's. Thank you!

The answer is basically no, and if you don't have DVDA installed,Vegas Movie Studio will only do single movie discs. No menu.

If you currently have DVDA there's no reason why you cannot continue using it.

But if you want to look at Magix Movie Edit Pro it has a 30 day trial download so you could try it to see if it will do what you require.

Thanks ericlnz. I have a bunch of old Sony Handy Cam mini disks that I would like to make full DVDs out of. I used to use it a lot to combine clips, make a menu, and put on full size DVDs, but at some point DVD Architect started to freeze up and became too frustrating to use. Maybe because I ran it on Win10? Maybe my laptop didn't have enough power? I don't know. I eventually gave up. I'm ready for a new laptop and was going to make sure I bought something that would run it just to find out it really doesn't exist anymore.

DVDA runs well (for me) on Win 10 but it is only a 32 bit application.

If you have DVDA why not install it on your new laptop to try? Which version did you purchase, and as a disc or download?
