For some of you may remember me, a while ago, I almost given up VMS but I told myself I'll give it another try, well, this time I really did it, after 4 months combat with VMS I finally managed to make a 1920x1080 avchd blu-ray, I'm so in heaven and I'd like to share this to those who have problems and thank you those been helping me before.

I don't have a super-fast PC, my is Windows XP,Professional version 2002 SP2, Intel core 2 Duo CPU, E8400@3.00GHZ, 4GB of RAM. I have two HDD and an external 70GB HDD too.

Somehow, I don't know why VMS is unable to render a long project e.g. 30 to 60 min duration in Sony AVC1920x1080 format, however, this time I render each of my projects in 5 min duration then it came out with 23's m2t files to fit in a bly-ray disc.

During the rendering - it not superior, it does crush sometime, it took an hour to render a 5 min project and its space hunger. Image sideshow is a bit faster than video.

I'm using DVDA Pro.5 and not very please with it, well, it have to re-render the files again the burning process took me 2 and a half hours in a 20GB files, and I noticed the quality of my video have gone a bit and the video in some part are jucking. Well, I suppose we can't have all after all I only pay for £76 and will get 76% of the quality.

Cheers, enjoy using it.

Hi sopgia

I want to share my experience and show you how to get 100% quality even with 76$ expenses.

I alwas have problem in rendering with VMS and my PC is close to yours. After some test I found the following to way to get full quality video in m2ts ready to be burned on a BD even with long project (my last movie is 1h long with a lot of transition and effect)

1) edit your movie in the program
2) when it came to render, choose "Save to my hard drive" then "Sony AVC" as format and "BluRay 1920x1080-50i 16Mb video stream" as template, this means the maximum quality available at least with my camcorder. Yes!! it render video only... but read more.
3) start to render and wait till finished.
4) now start again a make movie operation, choose again "Save to my hard drive", chose advanced render and select the desired audio format and template. Start render again. This should take few minuts even for 1h video.
5) now you have to download a software called tsMuxer, you can find a version with a GUI. it is easy to find and use.
6) once installed open it, click on the input file and import both the video and audio.
7) now choose m2ts muxing and click start. This process should take fewm minuts again.

At the end you will get a full quality m2ts file without splitting the original and with a fully sinchronized audio and video and ready to be burned on a BD.

I'm using Toast wich come with Lacie D2 BD burner. It does not reprocess the file except if you decide to change format.

This is my experience and since three month I'm working in this way.
I'm waiting sony to fix this bug becouse is very frustrating.

Let me know if you think something is wrong in this procedure...

Regards and sorry for boring you with this long description.
