I am trying to render out a video to 4.8 Mbps HD 720-24p Video - BUT I want to change the bit rate to a lower number like 3 instead 4.8 because the file size is too big. Now when I try this, I get the ERROR when rendering :

Template's audio bit rate is too large for the target bit rate!
So I went into the template (it is mini dv avi straight from the camera), and changed the properties of the template to a lower audio bit rate to 8 bits and still it doesn't work. Any ideas why I can't get this to render?

have you tried to render out a MPEG 2 and a AC3 file, this keeps the file size down rather then the PCM in the normal render.

sorry, I am trying to render out to WMV which is what the client needs....
