PE13 users, I need a bit of advice on troubleshooting an export of some HD video to AVCHD. Coming from PowerDirector 12, I just purchased PE13 and am experimenting with the software. Several video clips shot via Sony camcorder 1920x1080 60i 30 FPS, none more than about 2 minutes each, for a total of about 7 minutes. I've imported these clips into a new PD13 project, added a few transitions, and exported as M2T - H264 1920x1080i 30 (audio setting: Dolby Digital, 192 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo). Video looks great, however, audio stutters a bit in some places, a lot in others, and plays fine for stretches. It should be noted that I exported even longer video of similar settings via PowerDirector and have not experienced any audio stutter ever.
When I export this same project as MP4 - H264 1920x1080p 30 (audio setting: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo) the audio plays flawlessly.
Are there any settings that may eliminate this stuttering when exporting as M2T - H264? It looks like I may be able to reduce the kbps of the M2T file to 160, but would rather not if it wouldn't make any difference anyway. I'll experiment when I get home to see if lowering kbps helps, but in the meantime, any other advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
