Rendering Blues

Dear All:

I have just finished a project, but I can't get it to render correctly. I tried both mpeg2 and wmv but in both cases only the video worked. I then rendered the video and audio respectively as wmv and wma files, and they both worked. But when I combined them on the time line and tried to render them as one file, only the video worked.

I have never had this problem before, and I am clueless as to what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestion as to how to get this project out of my computer and onto to a dvd will make a bride and groom very happy, and may well be a career saver.

Semper Fi,

Bill

The following assumes you're using Vegas Pro and not Vegas Movie Studio.
If you chose one of the DVD Architect NTSC templates, you have to render the audio separately.
Assuming you still have the rendered MPEG-2 file, render again but this time pick the "Dolby Digital AC-3" template for your audio.
The default template is fine for now.
Make sure to use the same surname (eg. myvideo.mpg and myvideo.ac3) and render to the same folder as the video file.
Then, when you load the MPEG-2 file into DVD Architect, the AC-3 file will automatically follow it.

Mike's suggestion sounds good if you're using DVD Architect to create the DVD...but that does not explain why you can't render a WMV file with audio.... very strange. Did you double check the custom settings to ensure you didn't uncheck "include audio" box under the audio tab?
