    Nightmare trying to export avchd footage (shot with panasonic sd90) from adobe cs5.5 to Mpeg2-dvd format. The result on dvd is not good, a lot of shimmering lines and artifacts. When I use HD-writer AE 3 to export the m2ts-files to dvd, the result is exellent. I don't know what HD-writer does, but I can't get the same quality in adobe premiere export, and I have tried a lot of settings.

    Here's the original videofile data (m2ts-file):
    Format : BDAV
    Format/Info : Blu-ray Video
    File size : 97.8 MiB

    You can view the videoresult here:

    I know it's progressive footage I've converted to interlaced, because I want the motion to be smooth. But I have also tried original interlaced footage with the same result. And I tried progressive footage and exported it progressive, and even if the result was slighly better, it's far from good, like the impressive export from HD-writer. I observed that HD-writer had coverted the progressive footage to interlaced, upper field with great sucess.

    I can't stop thinking that it must be possible to achieve the same result with adobe export as with the HD-writer software. I would use hd-writer, but it's very limited on the editing side, and it will only accept the native camera file-format to export to dvd. I want to edit in premiere, and get a good quality export without the shimmering lines. I have checked the maximum rendering quality, and maximum bit depth without any luck.
    Anyone have an idea what to do? I'm really stuck.
