I recently read a really good article about this... To kill weeds with vinegar, the vinegar would actually need to be extremely potently acidic vinegar... to the point of being dangerous. Pouring normal vinegar on the weeds will burn their leaves and they will turn brown and look dead, but it doesn't kill their roots, so you're really wasting your time. Round-up will be absorbed into the leaves and kill the roots.
Mary, our recipe is: 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/3 blue dawn dish soap. Spray on weeds on sunny day early in a.m. after dew is evaporated. This will kill any living plant so we only use it like in the driveway, in the gravel, or sidewalk cracks etc. not on the lawn.
