Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Vegas?

Which version of Vegas Pro are you using? From what I understand, you should be using 10c because there was a bug in the Sony AVC plugin at least in 10b which caused issues when rendering mp4 files.

Hope this helps.

Is the audio track muted?

Bus muted?

Is there a volume envelope on the track you’re adding to and that’s muted?

Screen capture of project so we can see?

Two obvious things to try:
1) bring your project over to your friend’s place and see if the problem still exists
or
2) read release notes to see if it was a known issue but is now resolved.

Pre-render sections of your project and see if it still does the stuttering.

You didn’t give us much, so for all we know you have some complex video and your computer isn’t powerful enough to keep up.

What are you looking for to mean “the best”? Smaller file size? Best video quality? Most compatible between computer systems?

Well, the obvious choices you have and have to make a decision on are:
1) change the resolution of your output (eg, instead of 1920×1080 do 1080×720)

2) change the video bit rate.

Use Gspot, find out what codec you need, convert it to a wmv/mov file, and then import it.

Change the file name of the aviplug.dll file that’s already installed in the FileIO plugin folder because that’s what you’ll be replacing.

If you have other questions, please take it off line and email me through my website so this thread doesn’t get cluttered.

Thanks!
