Ive chosen AC3 when rendering out in Vegas separately for Audio and Video, the DVD Architect is fine with the Video and doesnt need to recompress or re-render it (I normally chose MPEG and chose the HDV 1080i export and its fine), however the AC3 that is exported, DVD Architect always seems to want to recompress the audio file. Is there any way to avoid this (like how it normally works when creating standard DVDs where it uses the MPEG file and AC3 files and doesnt re-render or recompress them).

Im not sure whats the proper audio render settings to keep this from happening or is this currently unavoidable for DVD Architect?

Unless you are really short of space I have been using PCM rather than AC3. Better quality and DVD Architect is quite happy with the file. Bluray preset for the video.
