I am pretty new to AVCHD and am still trying to figure it all out. I have tried many different ways of exporting with no success. Here are some of my basic settings when i go to export:
H.264
Quality: Best
Frame Rate:60
Key Frame rate:24
Encoding:Multi Pass
Dimensions: Current (557x313)
Heres an example of a test video, where you can see the quality is nowhere near where it should be for a camera of this standard.

Thanks for any help as this is a very frustrating problem.
