What you have are elementary streams(m2v, wav), file with chapter points(xmpses) and metadata(xmp), this for importing into Encore, for Nero you want to MUX the files, look under multiplexing in the HELP file, or pdf manual.

<>I cannot figure out for the life of my why I can’t export a 720×480 video as 720×480 without adding these stupid vertical black bars!<>
Because you are a 4:3 NTSC 720×480 which contains non-square pixels with a Pixel Aspect Ratio(PAR) of .89 horiz. exporting to FLV which uses square pixels, the encoder will conform it to 4:3 square pixels(AME FLV preset for this is usually 648×480), reason for the preset is that FLV is usually viewed on a computer screen, trying to view the resulting video on something that is expecting 720×480 .9, will result in black bars on the sides.<>It’s incompetent. Use FCP, not Adobe. Adobe products are clearly inferior.<>

[Jason Harris] “the video on the camera looks much MORE colorful, its only when it comes into adobe it looks faded”
Has the cam display been checked against against the output on a calibrated monitor? -
There are effects in Ppro the use the GPU, not many though. If you want to improve AVCHD encoding get something like GV Firecoder Blu or Matrox CompressHD, I use intermediate codecs like NeoScene or GV HQ(not Ppro) for avchd editing.

I always prefer to use a newer video card when building a new system, it doesn’t have to be top of the line for editing, low end compositing and 3D. I currently run a 9600GT with a 3ig quad core and Production Studio, I will be upgrading to a i7 system soon and probably will use a GTS250 or a GTx260, I do use a higher end Quatro in a dual quad graphics workstation, but thats a different ball of wax.

You might have a driver conflict with your audio card installation, see if there aren’t updated audio drivers, I’d also contact the cards tech support with the problem

you can go to this link and if you have registered your hardware you can download the drivers for your hardware

I used a DVstorm for years till Canopus and Adobe had their differences, I used it with Edius for a while but lack of continued support put it on the shelf, I’ve been using Scenalyzer Live to capture A/V->DV, DV, and HDV Split for HDV, mostly on older desktops for capture only with swappable drives till eSATA come into being.

Are you exporting back to tape?

when doing passthrough there usually isn’t any deck control so you have to do manual, also since the conversion is done in the camcorder there are no settings per’se, when I was converting I used a Adstech converter and a TimeBase corrector between the vhs deck and converter to touchup and stablize the video, Simatech used to make a fairly inexpensive one but a don’t see them on the market any more, Canopus/GrassValley makes the ADVC-300 converter which will give you some control over the video settings.
Also I used Scenalyzer to capture, it has settings available so you can capture from start to a specific time, but the deck will run-on after the capture stops
