All I-Frame (72 Mbps) editing with VideoStudio

[erdna]

Bob, I just rendered your 1080p60 28Mbps file as an high bitrate mpeg2 file (60Mbps) and it plays very well on all my SW players, exept on the VLC player(stops). Even on my Acer Duo laptop it plays well (only) with Splash Lite. I will try mmplayer later.

Bob, thinking on Natal's remark,could you also try the 50Mbps .mov setting. This is probably a less compressed flavor and a bit easier to decompress than the AVCHD codec

I will give that a try and let you know my results.

I set the camera to 50 Mbps MOV files (30p) and rendered to AVCHD 28 Mbps 60p and AVCHD 24 Mbps 60i. The 28 Mbps render looked good, but had audio dropouts. The 24 Mbps render worked fine all around.

Just to try something different, I used the original 72 Mbps all I-frame clips and rendered that to 24 Mbps/60i AVCHD. The audio was fine, but pans were jerky.

It would be fantastic if VideoStudio could natively edit/render as either the 50 or 72 Mbps formats. I'm a little hesitant to shoot at 50 Mbps/30p QuickTime, then render to 24 Mbps/60i AVCHD -- there might be rendering and codec artifacts that my brief test didn't reveal. So I will probably shoot/render at 24 Mbps/60i, until VideoStudio gets an upgrade.
