Hi all,,,,,after producing many videos and DVDs using Sony Vegas 8 and Sony DCR-SR60 handycam I am not getting any audio at all after rendering..Neither the video audio nor the added sound track is rendered..Via preview the audio comes through clear..I have kept my settings the same as the last successfull production..

Can anyone shed any light on this problem..

Jurgen

Silly me,,,,problem solved..I worked it out for myself..I have been rendering my production as a MPEG not an AVI..

Jurgen

I'm sorry? When rendering to MPEG you can CHOOSE or elect to include audio or not.

This is what I do:

A] MPEG2 - Video Stream only

PLUS

B] AC3 - Audio

Just 'cos you rendered a container with only video does not make it a mistake on your part. The crucial thing I take away from your experience is to understand that I CAN choose to include audio or not!

So, no, you weren't "silly" for rendering MPEG2 - it is most likely you rendered a "non" audio MPEG2 template.

I'm looking at the Main Concept MPEG-2 "DVD Architect PAL Video Stream" template and I even here I can elect to include Audio. In fact I could be even MORE obtuse and choose to elect Audio and disengage the Video stream - if I wanted to!

And again, the AVI templates allow for including Video and Audio separately too. So again, saying you did one and not the other is still only halfway there - yeah? Do you see that?

After some 5 years of attempting to get my head around this technology, these AVIs and MPEGS and so on, are only containers of what I might stuff into them.

Now, if I've got any of this wrong, please tell me? Yeah?

Best regards

Grazie

Thanks for that Grazie,,,,,I'll have a play around and give your suggestion a try..
