Windows Media Player
I have rendered an 11 minute video from my Sony Vegas Pro V. 10 as an .AVI file because my computer cannot render as any other file because my processor does not have enough power (please do not ask about what power I have, because this is a video for my business being made at my business and I’ve already bothered the IT guys about this problem enough and they have no clue how to fix it) and am trying to play it on Windows Media Player because it won’t open on any other video playing program (quicktime, itunes, etc.) although, the first 6 minutes are really really choppy and the rest of the video plays normally. I burnt this disk to a dvd and the first 6 minutes remain choppy :/ any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks for any recommendations or advice

You need to tell us what templates you used for rendering. That may be why the video is choppy.
You can also use Windows Media Encoder (a free download from Microsoft) to convert the AVI file to WMV which should play back smoother (but Vegas can render a WMV to begin with).

Thanks John!
I looked into downloading the Microsoft application, but when I tried to convert my file, it told me I had to buy the full version to get my file transfered. However, I found another website named “FreeMake.com” and it is BY FAR the simplest, easiest and takes the least amount of time to convert my .avi files into .mp4s. My original problem was my computer wasn’t able to render my video as an .mp4, so I had to render it as an .avi, which, I still have to do. The choppiness from the rendered video that played on Windows Media Player did not show, so that was more good luck, and then using this convertor software was seriously the coolest MOST RELIEVING thing I came across 🙂
Thank you again John for the advice. Maybe this “FreeMake.com” website will help other people who have this same problem.– Tim

I’ve never heard of that. Windows Media Encoder is 100% free. I see now that Microsoft has Expression Encoder 4 which has a free and paid version. Maybe you downloaded the paid version?
I’m glad FreeMake.com worked out for you. I’ll have to check that out. It should be noted that the FreeMake.com terms and conditions state that you cannot Use the Product for commercial use so that’s important to keep in mind if you are paid for the work you do.
