Alright, so i started using Vegas 8 to resize these mpgs im using for a movie gallery. After resizing though if you view the video in Windows Media Player there's a horizontal green line at the bottom of the clip. I found an old thread with a similar problem that said something about cropping the vid, and tried it but all it did was make the line shorter, and i can't crop it anymore because it's watermarked. Is there a way to get rid of that line or render the video so it does not appear?

If this green horizontal line isn't present on the video during
the editing and rendering process or even when you import the finished
video back in vegas to view....then the problem isn't with the
video...it is with your windows media player mpeg2 playback.
Does this green line shows up while playing other mpeg2 files?
Are you using the default mpeg2 ntsc or Architect video stream
templates ?

Hi
I'm also having the problem on my internet computer, including colors messing up. I tried the same clip on my editing computer and it played fine.
Which leads me to believe that my old video/graphics card may be going bad. This may also be your situation. Do you have another computer you can try this on to verify?

It's weird, it shows up on my boss's computer, a co-worker's computer but not on mine. I played it at home, it was white horizontal line at the bottom, but then i reopened it and it was gone.
These clips first started out full size high quality wmvs (1280x720) which were converted to mpeg-1. Then i put the mpeg vids through a splitter to make 15-25 second preview clips, all mpeg-1. We loaded them on to their pages but because of the size(960x540) they took along time to load up in windows media player, and there would be a long pause then it'd skip a few seconds ahead when it was played in browsers. So i resized them in vegas to 400x226 and that's when the green line appeared.
I tried mpeg-2 but it'd freeze windows media player (probably the MPEG-2 playback like you said Steve).
