I even complained about this very same problem on this actual forum at the launch of PD14 because it still wasn't rectified. Cyberlink, I hope you address this issue because it was fine at the very beginning of PD12 and PD13.
Speaking of the converter, there were certain channels, particularly Univision and Telemundo, that I couldn't convert over to M2TS format for editing because of something broken. This would only happen intermittently.
So after buying this version, that problem has been rectified but the audio synchronization problem with 720p still need to be addressed.
