Hey Gang,

I've got a project that's giving me some headaches. I'm trying to create some HD content from still photos sized to 1920x1080. Threw them all on the timeline as a single video sequence. Rendering to WMV9 HD works just fine, but I figured I'd try AVC and see if it looks any better. However, when I render to AVC, the players crash on playback. Nero Showtime and WMP 11 both die after the first two seconds, maybe less, of the video has played. iTunes plays the whole thing.

My rendering settings are as follows:
Rendering Quality: Good
Frame Size: Custom
Width: 1920
Height:1088 (project is 1080, but AVC forces 1088 for some reason)
Profile: Main
Frame Rate: 29.970
Field Order: Progressive
PAR: 1.0
Constant bit rate: 7M

Any ideas as to what might be causing the playback crashes?

Thanks!
Ryan
