This seems to be a common stumbling block. There are lots of rendering options, and it took me a while to sort through them.
Try: Format = MS-AVI or Quicktime for Linux Audio = Twos complement, 16 bit linear Video = MPEG-4, quantization = 5, fixed quantization Most Linux players can handle those settings. Rendering for MS or Apple players, or for DVD is more complex. Try experimenting with a 5 second clip. Craig.
