  • For the BEST quality, export .m2ts as…..

    …which type of format?

    Camera: Sony HDR-SR11

    Considering it records at 1920 x 1080i, you’d think I could get an extremely crisp picture. However, I get an error message whenever I try to export as .m2ts while adjusting the size to 1920 x 1080 (default is 1440×1080). And then when I export as Blu-Ray 1920×1080, the picture quality is not good (jagged edges everywhere).

    I understand that I can simply export as .m2t with a size of 1440×1080, but is that the best quality I can get?

    What about .m2v?

    Thanks.

    Hey Peter, I have an HDR-SR12 and love it. While I haven’t worked with Blu-ray output, I can till you this: I’ve ingested my cam’s .m2ts files into Vegas without a hitch (all shot at the highest quality setting the cam is capable of), edited them (yes, they play back a bit jerkily, even on a quad processor system!), and encoded/rendered to .avi files at the highest quality settings to NTSC DV widescreen. The quality was very good indeed.

    When I encoded to 1920x1080i in .avi format and played them back on my puter, they were very good as well.
