Is the H.264 free in photostory 2022. I can not get any thing to burn using it burning bluray, comes up with error when rendering the menu, menu encoding failed. I tried about all the menus also fails with the same thing on AVCHD. Using the MEEG-2 seems to work ok. I have tried using my blyray burner and the image recorder nothing works with the H.264, I know it worked with Photostory 2019 Log below
