Sony Vegas Movie Studio avi file issue.

[Digital X]

I'm new to Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.0 and when i render the file as avi. it ends up as an enormous 1.4GB sometimes, and when i try to play it back in media player, realplayer etc, it says its loading, but nothing happens. Very rarely when it DOES playback it is extremely choppy and cuts out the sound every few seconds, What could be the problem? and is that enough detail to help me?

Its sorted now, how do i delete this?

Oh right ok. I really can't remember what settings i chose for the rendering process. But it ended up as 51.6mb in a 8 minute film, But whatever i've done, it seems to have worked.

Maybe you rendered it as a DV AVI file ( 1hr =13Gb)
That would explain the big size and unweildyness inplayers

What sort of file do you now have given that avi is only a container and not a file type as such

Correction sorry, i re-rendered it to a WMV.

Here are the rendering settings that i used:
In custom:

Template: 1Mbps Video
Audio: 96 Kbps, 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo.
Video: 30 fps, 640x480, WMV V9 Compression.
Use this setting for high-quality video playback from a CD-ROM.

Audio: CBR, Windows Media Audio 9.2, 128kbps 44Khz stereo (A/V) CBR

Video: CBR, Windows Media Video 9, Animation (320x240) Frame rate: 30 FPS
Highest video sharpest

Bitrate: 3M Internet/Lan

Thats all i could find.
