Problems with audio rendering - Sony Vegas 9 Studio

[bridgeperson]

I just started using Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I was able to bring in the video I captured with my Sony DCR-SR85 and edit and create the movie. But when I rendered the movie, the audio and video stared ok for about 2 minutes and then the audio became choppy, start and stop. But video is fine. Any one had this problem and was able to solve this? I have Windows XP Home with Dell XPS 400 (Intel Dual Core 2.8GHz Processor). I have about 40 GB free space and rendered video is only 1GB.

Thanks for your help

What are your export encode settings? "Render as"?

I am rendering as MPEG1 file.

Why are you using MPEG1?

How are you playing this back (ie. what software? if you try another software player like VLC, or KMplayer what happens)?

I have tried both VLC and Windows media player, same result. Are there any better formats to use. I want to eventually burn DVD to play on the DVD player on a TV. If there are better formats I can render as, please let me know. Thank you very much for replying to my post.

Your camcorder is MPeg2. Normal for DVD is MPeg2. There should be a default for DVD under "Render As".

But VCD should require minimal hardware and player.
