For some reason, the MPEG2 video I'm exporting is taking tons of memory to play on Windows Media Player.

The bitrate is about 9 Mps and the video is stuttering. Lowering the bitrate helps, but back in Standard 6.5, I used up to 12 Mps without any problems. There are not even any fast scenes and the clip is only a minute long.

When using the video in any other programs, such as Windows Moviemaker, the file also contains no video (only audio).

It seems like the MPEG2 from Premiere Pro is not compatible for some reason... Any suggestions?

The solution I'm using right now is exporting to AVI (which plays perfectly fine but takes up too much space of course)
