MTS to AVI conversion driving me mad! AME problem
First post for me so please excuse me if its in the wrong place!
I’m going insane at home trying to create a PAL DVD.
Heres what Ive done so far:
1) Shot the footage and imported the MTS files into Adobe Premier CS4
2) Done the necessary editing
3) Exported the media
4) AME opens and I have to select the output file.When I select AVI PAL 16:9 the quality of the final final is pretty good.
The final AVI file is 18meg.
I then open Adobe Encore CS4 and import the AVI as an asset. Once the DVD is burnt the quality has reduced so far that the DVD in watchable.
Can anyone help me with this? I am not very good with thechno speak and dont understand the process of changing bitrate and such so please – any help greatly appreciated but I need it kept VERY simple 🙂

Dont export to avi. Export directly to mpeg2-dvd or use Dynamic Link.

I understand MPeg2-DVD is ok but I want to be able to edit my clips before I burn them to a DVD. I want to start with the MTS files, put them into a format I can edit in Adobe Premiere CS3 or CS4 and then export to a DVD without losing tonnes of quality. Can this be done by just exporting to MPEG2-DVD?

Do not convert to dv avi or sd-mpeg for editing with CS4. If you system cannot handle mts have a look at Cineform NeoScene.

There are other converters, but i find this one excellent. -
How long is your video? If it’s too long then Encore’s encoding limitation to fit to disc may not allow a high enough data rate.

The video lasts for about 84 minutes. Im going to get dual layer DVDs to see if that helps.
