My new Panasonic camcorder records in AVCHD format. I use Pinnacle 12 for editing.
I'm wondering what is the appropriate format to export my finished movies in for high definition quality? I don't have a Blu-Ray drive at this point, but I would like to export a high def copy for archiving in the event I get a blu-ray drive.
In addition I'll export in mpeg-2 for DVD-video burning.
My options seem to be either mpeg-4 or a variety of mpeg-2 HD codecs.
