I would Say that "Vegas Video 4/DVD Architect 1.0" is better is Some ways than Premier Pro because you do not have to buy the Mpeg1/2 and Dolby digital Encoders seperately were with Premier pro you do,and Vegas is a Lot easier to use and Has a Much less Crowded Interface, I also Like the Transitions and Effects Better in vegas 4 and they are easier to use, and you can not Capture from analoge Sources useing Premier Pro but you can with Vegas 4...
So it is Basicly a Matter of Choice they Both Have simular Features and there Respective Mpeg encoders are of Simular quality ,Premier Pro has a Faster Rendering Time and Has More Plugins and Modules that can be used with it...I own all 3 of the Programs you mentioned ,Vegas Video 4/DVD architect and Premier Pro 7 and Ulead Media Studio pro 7..For someone that Has never really done any editing then Media Studio pro 7 is a good Program because it is actually 7 Seperate Modules which in the End Has More features than Both Premier Pro and Vegas 4 ,It has a Module for Video Capture and one for Editing Video and one for Audio Editing and one for Adding Painted on effects and one for createing CG Animation and one for Burning Disk Images to CD/DVD and a DVD authoring Module ,It isn"t as High quality of a program But very Full Featured.....If you Let me Know what you are Looking for in an Editing/DVD Authoring Package then I might be able to tell you what one would suit you best...Cheers
