Can't render to mpg2

I posted this problem before but I am still unable to solve it. I now have Vegas 11 and when I try to render video (Digital8 camera) that always worked with Vegas 9 will not render to mpg2. The options show but when I select mpg2 the render button is grayed out. It will only let me render to Sony mxf files which I don't want to. And there are problems with DVD Arch with mxf files. How do I render to mpg2 in version 11? I have the latestest updates.

Can you click on the arrow to the left of the MPG2 option and see the templates? Select a template and then you should be able to render. You can customize the template if need be.

Don't seem to have a problem here. It works fine. Can you see all the templates for mpg2? But, I'm using VP11 on an XP machine so that makes me "weird". lol

Dave, I feel really stupid now. In version 9 the menus were quite different and I didn't realize that the Render As screen had imbedded menus/options. Everything worked fine. Thanks for clariying that for me. One more thing. In my project properties I have field order as lower field first and when I select the first mpg2 option it has upper field first. Should I have them the same and is it better for Digital8 captured to avi to render the lower or upper first?
