Rendering nightmares...

Hi there,
I dearly love VV3 but have recently started having major problems rendering.
After capturing DV footage from my Sony PD150, I edit in VV3 and everything is happy and the system is stable.
When I try to render the project, using PAL DV best or PAL DV templates the resulting avi is really jerky - it jumps about all over the screen and the audio is way out of sync. I also find that the image is highly pixelated, even though there has been no FX added to the clip. What's really odd is that if I play the rendered clip in the VV timeline it seems Ok some of the time.
It also doesn't work if I try to play it in Windows Media Player, Real Player or play it out from Vid Cap.
Any ideas?

thanks,

Joe

check my posting that opens with "adobe Premiere". Video Vegas would could not produce a usable video image (it was crap beyond belief with no audio synch, jerkiness, giant cblocks of pixelation artifacts). Time was running out so I made the multi track project into an AVI file, dropped it into Premiere 6.0 and played it to tape with nary a hitch. I bought VV3 because I was so tired of forever leaving Premiere to edit sound but unless someone can suggest what the heck I am doing wrong I guess I am stuck with Premiere as a main video editing tool. Tried the AVID grossly over priced software, grossly over-priced just to get that uunintuitive, clumsy GUI.

thant's my rant,

Maybe it's nothing to do with your problem, but... did you by any chance enable the Motion Blur option in the 'Advanced properties' of your project?
Try and set it to none and then render as usual.

What OS? Wasn't 98SE perchance, was it?

No, I am using Windows 2000 service pack 3. Windows reinstalled and upgraded by a Microsoft Certified technician. Everything works fine except getting projects back to DV tape. Funny thing is I can record beatiful smooth video sans audio when opting for the external monitor option and going to the monitor via the DHR 1000 or DSR 20. Truly bizarre. However, as most of my work goes to MPEG or Windows media, this is not a serious problem, I still have Adobe 6 afterall. I have a Creative Labs Audigy Platinum sound card, ATI 64 Meg Raedon and a Maxtor 60 gig AVID certified 1394 media drive. Only theory I have is there might be a problem with both the media files and recording device being 1394 I/Os. But Premiere 6.0 never has problems...who knows?
