Hi PIERPAOLO,

I just wanted to say that I downloaded your original clip from your camera. I created a AVCHD file and the result was not very good. Since SVRT could not be enabled the file had to be rendered. I also think the quality was also reduced because being that it was in PAL format (25fps) and the video clip was a fairly quick pan from left to right...the quality dropped even more due to the panning. But if I am seeing what you are seeing, I wouldn't be happy with the results either.

I use a Sony video camera and fortunately for me I am able to utilize the SVRT feature, so no rendering is required when producing an AVCHD video file or disc.

I'm really sorry to say that I tried Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD platinum (demo) and I obtained a really good AVCHD file in just a few minutes, a couple of clicks!


Maybe you could PM me what the profile was that you selected in Sony Vegas and I will try to duplicate it. I am curious to try this myself to compare the differences. But we should keep this comparison off of the public part of this forum, as that is not its purpose.



Regards,

Kevin

I must say, I too have experienced poor encoding results with PD8, all my projects are output to H264. Although my use is to specifically combine various types of files, .ts, m2ts, wmv, mp4. I find the Cyberlink H264 encoder quite a bit less than some of the other encoders out their (X264_64 for example).

PD8 has it's place for sure in editing high quality home videos captured. My high quality .ts and m2ts files output are ok, but they are by no means excellent and burning to blu ray was a bonus back when I purchased PD8. I'm hoping Cyberlink can come up with a better encoder in future release's.

I have tried the 3GPP encoder, but it's limited in file size and complains with an error if the produced file happen to exceed 1hr.
