MPEG-4 HD in VXX3

[erdna]

I can't create MPEG-4 HD 1920x1080 25fps files from my edited video's. Even creating a template with 1920x1080 and 25fps seems impossible. I only get a 30fps (default?) setting. Is this normal?

Apparently it is locked at 30fps. What's your end-result, Blu-Ray, or for your PC? If you're wanting to use the H.264 codec, you can use it with M2T (MPEG), or HDMV. Just select MPEG Transport Stream for the Save as type, press the Options button, go to the Compression tab, and under the Video Settings, you can choose between H.264 video, which gives you the choices of AVCHD or AVREC. If not for Video format click the drop-down menu and change it to MPEG-2. These should provide you with the correct PAL fps.

Thanks Ron for your reply. I am familiar with VSX3 possibilities, but a friend asked me to check if there is a quality difference between MPEG 4-HD and AVCHD (which I normally use). On a video created from a stil testpic (.jpg) which I edited to get a 10 sec AVCHD (25 fps) and also an MPEG4_HD (30fps)video, I don't see any difference on my fullHd PC screen. Is this 30fps lock a flaw in the program?
