In my own gameroom I have a PS3 which of course will play the raw .MTS files. So, I know exactly what the files look like in their original format.
When I use PD7 to burn a HQ DVD, the conversion/compression comes out really bad in all cases. I mean considering the much lower quality of an HQ DVD burn it looks a lot worse that in should. In low light shots there's even large 'block' areas that flutter around on the screen. It looks worse than SD on an LCD to me.
I do need to burn off movies that other family members without BluRay players can watch.
I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong. It's the simple act of dumping a MTS file onto the main timeline and then burning a HQ DVD. The only other thing to know so far is that the files I'm using are all test clips that are 2 minutes or under. I think because of their shortness PD7 blue lines the whole thing every time (SVRT). There's something in the help file about SVRT needing to convert a whole clip if it's under two minutes.
