what are vegas's min. and max length times?

For my dvd recorders AT HQ I can record 1hr 4min.
At the most compressed speed I can get 8hrs and 15 min on a dvd

Can someone give me the above 2 lenghts for vegas for dvd?
Can someone give me the above 2 lenghts for vegas for bluray?
Thanks

I think I understand the question :-)

You can store about 70 minutes of video on a DVD and (I think) about 2.5 hours on a bluray before you have to start thinking about adjusting the bit rate, be it CBR or VBR, depending on your circumstances, to find the length of video onto the media.

Whilst you can squeeze more on either media by playing with bit rates, it does so at the cost of image quality. You can get away with 90 minutes on a DVD, but 110 to 120 minutes is starting to compromise quality.

My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10e (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

So perhaps DVD Architect "fit to disk" wasn't designed to make DVD's that long but you could certainly render an MPEG2 file directly from Vegas that would fit.

I wasn't suggesting that you not use DVD Architect. I was suggesting that you use File | Render As... and render the MPEG2 file in Vegas first using whatever bit-rate you need to. Then open DVD Architect separately and use the MPEG2 file you rendered in Vegas to create your DVD. You will also have to render your audio separately as Dolby Digital AC-3 and give it the same name as the MPEG2 file so that DVD Architect knows that they go together.
