Hi everyone, am kinda new to this so please bear with me.

I just finished editing a couple of HD videos and want to produce it into a video file, however i am unsure which file type to use that would give me the best picture quality.

Ive tried AVI, MPEG2, MPEG1, but there seem to be a drop in picture quality. The AVC(MPEG4) one produces the file in m2ts format which is not supported by any of my players.

Does anyone have any idea what i should do?

Would really appreciate it.

There are some CODECs available that will help your players play the M2TS files if you wanted to go that direction.

Have you tried the HD WMV format? Its a form of AVI and doesn't render fast but usually has decent quality.

As has been discussed in some other threads, bitrate is the single biggest factor in final quality, regardless of format. Whichever format you choose you want the most bitrate possible, up to the point it creates files bigger than you or your PC can handle or burn. You have to find the proper balance point for the bitrate.
