Getting an error message when I convert to .WMV

Question

So I have my project all done, I got to convert to a WMV file, and then it pops up the error message of "Insonsistent Audio Sample Rate" "The media you are exporting contains audio with multiple sample rates."
Now when I check the sample rates on everything they are all at 48. So I'm not sure what the problem is.
Even weirder is, that I am able to convert to a WMV on another project using the same footage, just a different section of it. But it was all shot at the same time.
Any ideas?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I just found this info on Flip4mac web site:
"Article 0070
Category: WMV Components
Subject: Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate
Date: 7/17/07
We have confirmed that when encoding WMV files with uncompressed audio sources after installing QT 7.2, you will receive "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate" error and the encode will fail. This affects Flip4Mac WMV Studio, Studio Pro, Studio Pro HD versions. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
You might want to try the following steps as a temporary workaround:
1. Open up the clip in QT Pro, iMovie or Final Cut Pro
2. Export to Mpeg-4
3. Click Options
4. On the file format pull down select MP4
5. On the video format pull down select Pass through if possible. Otherwise, select H264.
6. Then go to the audio tab, and change the output sample to 44.100
7. Then save the file
This will make an MP4 file which will not recompress the video format more than once with the audio sample rate changed to 44.100 which will allow the file to be exported to WMV.
