Now the aspect ratio is wrong as the black bars are missing at the top and bottom stretching the video vertically. So, I used Xmedia Recode, to add black bars. Using.....



Resulting in:

The new video is playable on Sony Blu-Ray HT and on the PC without any issue. However, when I use multiAVCHD or tsmuxer gui the resulting Blu-Ray or .m2ts file gets stuck every ~20secs or so for few seconds through out the playback. It's not stutter or frame skipping. The video remains motionless for few seconds and then continues for 10-20secs and then the same thing. All the while the audio keeps continuing without any break or stutter.

I've tried using Audio copy mode and convert mode. I have also tried muxing with and without the subs.

Is it the delay? Or what is it?

Any solution?

Also, why is the profile changing from Main@L4.0 to Baseline@L4.1 even though I select High@L4.1?

Another strange thing is that Xmedia Recode does not allowing me to choose Medium preset for any video.


Thanks
