Movie Studio Help

I'll just apologize upfront, I am brand new at this, but I need some help. I have the Movie Studio + DVD program with DVD Architect Studio 2.0. When I render my video in Movie Studio as MPEG-2 (which is what the instructions told me to do if I want to burn to DVD), the playback is choppy in the preview when I insert it into Architect. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks. Oh, and I also cannot get the audio to play while I'm watching the preview as well. It was rendered as Sony Wave 64.

Try and play the MPEG2 file in some other program e.g. windows media player and see how it performs.

The choppyness can have to to with your PC if there are other things in the background.

Thanks, it works fine in Windows Media Player. Any take on the audio problem?

People (myself included) have reported that once in a while a render will not have audio in it. I've not heard a good explanation; in my case it has happened once out of maybe 75 renders.

First thing I'd try is to re-render a short portion of your video and see if there is audio in it. If so, then maybe re-rendering the whole thing would fix it. Not a great workaround, but a workaround nonetheless.

If that doesn't do it then you might make sure that you are using one of the standard render templates; an inadvertant click on a button in the advanced render settings might cause problems.

On the audio problem you may want to see what template you are using. If you are using the DVD Architect template then it is rendering a video stream only.

When I am creating a DVD I usually render the movie twice, once in the DVD Architecture template to get a video stream. Then I save the movie again as a .wav file for the audio. If you do this it speeds the DVD creation process because Architecture does not have to re-render the media. Just make sure that in Architecture you indicate both the video and audio file.
