Hi douglas,

thanks for the reply. I’m not trying to play it back on a dvd player. I’m playing it back as a file on my PC on a hd monitor and/or hdtv. So the video codec can be anything that PC can handle. the audio codec I’d prefer to be dd 5.1 as I’m sending the audio to an av amp, and the original audio is 5.1 so don’t want to lose detail there. I don’t want to render to mpeg2 as that has much greater filesize than m2ts avchd.

rendering back to the orignal file’s m2ts with dd 5.1 sound would do me, but it doesn’t seem to have that option.

thanks,
Ian
