I am by no means an expert, but your 100Mbps as Bitrate seems very high to
me
Try bringing it closer to 5, that might very well help

Hi all, the problem might have been discussed in this forum but i have
tired some of the suggestions to fix my problem to no avail.
I have 3 .wmv video files(frame size: 320 x 240, bit rate 60 kb/s,
Frame rate: 30.00 fps, Pixel Depth 32) captured using windows movie
maker from my Sony Handycam DCR-HC30. Each is about an hour long. The
video looks great in the monitor windows before and after editing in
PPRO 1.5. But when i export to MPEG2, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-SVCD or AVI the
video comes out blurry with the exception of the still images during
transitions and at the end. The edited video is about 2 hours long.
I read on this forum that the problem could be the field order so i
tried to set it to upper and then to lower but no luck (in either MPEG
or AVI). I also changed the field options for each clip to "reverse
field dominace" and tried between all options with just no improvement.
I have tried the different combinations of settings but the resulting
video is still blurry.
I am trying to export it to MPEG2 so that i can create chapters etc in
Encore for the final product. I have been trying to get it to work for
a month now an i am sure i am doing something wrong with the settings
since PPRO 1.5 works for others.
