The Blu-Ray template is NOT for local viewing. It contains no audio. If you want .m2ts you need to select the AVCHD template, not the Blu-Ray one.

Thanks! When I choose from template AVCHD and start to render, the format is mp4.
Is mp4 the same as m2ts. Is it possible to choose m2ts instead mp4?
My camcoder gives m2ts format.

From what I know, the exporting format is .m2ts when you select the AVCHD template and you don't change its defaults.

Don't you find it kinda odd that NONE of the AVCHD templates have full 1920 x 1080 output? They all appear to be 1440X1080.

Never mind LOL Thought I had updated to 9.0a which does have these options.

Platinum 9.0a does have 1920x1080. But they still don't let you change bitrate, progressiveness and frame rate, which makes it useless for my needs.

Yes, but for most 'consumer' level editing, I'm sure the provided templates would be fine. The default 16Mbps should give very good results.

I ran into another problem, but I'll post it in another thread.

No, it's not fine for consumers either. Panasonic consumer cameras can capture in true 24p, and VMS doesn't let you (on purpose) to export in either 24 fps or progressive with AVCHD. The funny thing is that the other exporting options (e.g. MP4, WMV), do let you do that. The even funnier thing is that not even Vegas Pro let you do all that, so that's a big shame. Please note that their codec is fully capable for the three things I want (fps, field order, bitrate)
