Vegas will not render correctly to MPEG-2

Vegas will render properly to any file format (AVI, Windows Media, MP3, etc.) but it will NOT render correctly to MPEG-2. When I choose the DVD NTSC template every single render comes out with the audio extremely slowed down and the video jerky.

The is the case whether I use batch render or not. This is on a new Dell XPS 600 machine with 2gb of RAM and a dual core 3.4 Intel processor.

If you are using DVDA you should be rendering the DVDA NTSC video stream and subsequently the equivalent AC3 audio stream to the same folder.
At the very least you should render separate streams for video and audio.

Be sure your audio is set to 48K Hz not 44.1 Hz
If you're NOT using AC3, that's probably the problem.

That's not the case. You can render it out with PCM audio and it works fine. I actually do that all the time with DVD-A. I ended up uninstalling Vegas and reinstalling and it fixed the render issue somewhat. Now it renders fine with the exception of a weird blinking white line at the bottom of the screen when rendering to MPEG-2. Not sure what to do with that.
