Render for TV and Computer Viewing?

I'm confused which format I should render my home movie in for watching on either a TV or computer. These are just a few of the choices I see:
mp4
wmv
wav

etc. etc.

It sounds like you are very new to Vegas and video editing, so I'll just give you a simple answer.

If you want to watch on TV, you'll need to convert your video to MPEG2, so that you can burn it to a DVD and view it that way.

If you want to watch it on your PC, you can also use MPEG, or any of the other VIDEO formats. Most media players today can handle the choices that Sony Vegas offers as render options.

And, for your edification, .WAV is an AUDIO format.

Happy Friday!
