Glitches when rendering to .avi

When I render to .avi, I get glitches in the video and audio. When I try to render the project again, I still get glitches, but never in the same place twice. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I have a decent machine, AMD Athalon XP 2500+ processor and 512 MB ram. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you rendering to uncompressed by chance? If so, the glitches aren't in the render, they are in your system's inability to play the file back. Virtually no system that isn't hardware-assisted can playback uncompressed files at 720 x 480/29.97 fps.
You are describing an uncompressed render since the glitches are random and sporadic.

Spot, or anyone,
I do notice the glitches when I'm playing the file back on my system, but it also appears after I have printed to tape on my camcorder. Even if it was glitchy on the system, shouldn't it print to tape okay?
