Rendering video and audio

I am very new to Vegas pro and still in the learning phase! Can someone tell me how I render both video and audio together in the one file? I am working on a HD project 1920x1080 and when I render as, i just get the video file.

Make sure the "Include Audio" box is checked in the Audio tab via the "Custom" menu.

Which codec are you Rendering... some are 'video only' streams that don't offer audio inclusion.

The MainConcept MPEG presets are generally video only for instance.

thank you for replying to my post.

My project properties are: HD 1080-50i (1920x1080, 25 fps) as my footage is AVCHD 1920x1080.

I have been using the corresponding Bluray 1920x1080-50i 16 Mbps video stream codec. If I try and use the AVCHD 1920x1080-50i codec which does allow me to include the sound it calculates the time to burn a 40s project as over 10 hrs!! (so never used that one).

Am I best to render a separate audio file?? If so what would be the best setting. I am trying a simple stereo output to start with.

Thanks for your help
