No sound when rendering in Vegas

[krise_p]

I have a video I have been working on in Vegas.

When I render the file, the output file is mute - no sound. I have made sure all necessary boxes are ticked to include audio in the output file.

I have been trying to export to mpeg2 (so I can use it in DVD architect), but the same thing happens when I try and render to .wmv. The only time I could ever get sound included is when I selected a 20 second part of the file and only rendered that to .wmv. But nothing else has worked, and this didn't even work when I attempted to repeat the feat.

Can someone please help because I need to get this off my hard drive. How can I render to mpeg2 with sound included.

Thanks

Try re-installing Vegas and DVDA.
P.S. What version are you using? I seem to remember V4 doing something like this a few years back. Version's 5 and 6 work fine.

Which mpeg2 template are you using ? Some of them produce elementary streams - video and audio in seperate files.

you have to render twice - once for audio and once for video .. if you exporting to dvda ..

there is a script that comes with vegas to do this in one shot for you and it is in the help file and manual ..

Thanks.

I'm using Vegas 5, rendering using the DVD PAL template. Will consult the manual again though and see what I can find.

Any other tips still welcomed.
