Quicktime rendering problems

I'm wondering if there's a trick to doing successful Quicktime rendering in VV, because none of my attempts have worked out. Half of them have had scanlines running through them and the other half have had jumpy audio that doesn't sync up with the video.

I've had no problems rendering Windows Media or Real Video in VV, but I'm feeling the need to make Quicktime files available to my site's visitors. I'd like to offer decent low-res and medium-res files for downloads/streaming from my web site.

Can anyone who has had success with this provide a summary of the settings they've used for rendering Quicktime video? There are waaaay too many options/settings and the chances of getting it "wrong" seem high to me.

As a side note, I have Quicktime version 5.0.2 installed on my PC. Do I need to upgrade to the Pro version to make this work properly?

Thanks in advance!

VV3 does encode QT.

QuickTime
256K
CUSTOM>
Project>"Best"
Video>Quality>High

Leave everything else at default and see what you get with a short clip. Then start tweaking. You can expect a file size of about 2mb per min. of video using these settings.

You might try a new download of Quicktime as you may not have the proper one on your system for Vegas. I didn't when I first began using Vegas. Check out www.apple.com/quicktime/ and download the "Recommended" installation. I did the "Minimum" and that doesn't work with Vegas.
