Good compression (and decompression) can be fairly demanding on the host. If you don’t need the “slideshow” ability of Powerpoint, you should definitely not waste additional system resources embedding video inside an already bloated application (PowerPoint) on a (possibly) limited-capacity computing platform. There’s a good chance the office application’s demand on system resources is part of the issue.
H.264 can be a good option, provided the system can handle it, but it’s very demanding, hence the reason many mobile devices now include a dedicated H.264 encoder/decoder so as not to drain the multi-purpose (but less efficient on single, task-specific, applications) CPU.
However, WMV, while older, has the benefit of being less demanding on the CPU and so you may have already been on the right track, but simply use a media player (I’m thinking Media Player Classic here) and create a playlist.
While this advice should by no means be the end-all of solutions, it’s worth a shot. The other option, if people are complaining and you’re not happy with the end product, is to build a tiny PC for all of a few hundred dollars which CAN handle H.264 or any other number of possible delivery codecs.

What player are you using to attempt playback of the files?
And, more importantly, are you indicating that you’re wrapping the H.264 export in an avi container? You are best use the straight up h.264 format option (.mp4) in that case. Then you should have far fewer issues.

I would edit in 1080p and convert as required for your additional deliverables. With 1080p as one of your target specs, there’s no reason to compromise on anything else.
Watch your safe zones as you would with any edit and you should be alright!

Please bear with me if this seems like a silly question: did you use Migration Assistant to move your applications as well?
If you did, I don’t believe that’s advised for Adobe CS applications and I’d manually re-install them. You need some system-wide support for codecs/formats which wouldn’t necessarily get transferred over with Migration Assistant.

Also, doesn’t the GTX580 require a second power supply on exisiting Mac Pro platforms?

That’s interesting! Can you tell us where you found this information on official NVIDIA drivers of OS X that support GTX 5xx series cards?

If you didn’t apply any CUDA accelerated effects ( https://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2011/02/cuda-mercury-playback-engine-and-adobe-premiere-pro.html ) then most decoding/encoding processes are not using CUDA. This is a common misconception.
Now, if you were to apply CUDA-accelarated effects to those clips you’d probably see a marked difference during playback and during render/export. The link you provide doesn’t include any information on the clips and effects used during “render” and so there’s no easy way to duplicate and/or understand the scope of those results.

While the Panasonic cameras at this end of the market aren’t known for their quiet external audio inputs, it’s possible you have the gain on the TX or RX up very high. Of course, that might be required depending on the talent/source, but it’s hard to pinpoint the problem without all the facts.

G3 TX – Mic and gain settings
G3 RX – Gain settings—

But you can always ask Adobe to add in in the future: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
