Curious. There is nothing wrong with the file format itself. Visit Kelly's site at http://www.vegasusers.com/vidshare/

and you'll see almost a thousand files almost all rendered in WMV format all created by forum members.

If your rendered project looks washed out, have you adjusted color curves, levels, gain or gamma?

What bitrate are you rendering to? Have you cropped at all? what resolution? That'll help make a determination as to what the problem is.
What is the source footage derived from?

One very quick thing you can do is apply the color correction filter with the studio-to-monitor preset. It really enrichens the colors for monitor viewing and should address that milky low-contrast output you describe.

You might try using the Windows Media Encoder directly from Microsoft. I've found better results using it at times. First, make an avi and then use the encoder.

What video card are you using? I had that problem and it was my
Nvidia color correction settings. Note Nvidia cards have different
color correction settings for desktop and full screen video playback. IT also has settings for overlays.

A lot to thiink about.
Most of project includes velocity changes,----slower.
Video tour of high end real estate.
adjusted with Sony contrast and brightness.
Rendered at 256,---size about 8 MB
512 was better, but file was too big,--- 17 mb.
Shot with DVX 100a.
