Using 5.2 fb{sup -1} annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring while operating on the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance, a sample of fully reconstructed B{sup 0} decays in the hadronic modes B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {pi}{sup +} and B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {rho}{sup +} have been reconstructed. In this paper, a study of these events is reported, including preliminary measurements of the absolute branching fractions for these modes, which are found to be B(B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {pi}{sup +} = 2.9 {+-} 0.3 {+-} 0.3) x 10{sup -3} and B(B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -} {rho}{sup +}) = (11.2 {+-} 1.1 {+-} 2.5) x 10{sup -3}.
