Why are there bad quality exports in Movie Edit Pro 14 (Trial version)?

My source material are all .MOV format, and the audio track is MP3. On one occasion of exporting the movie, the sound was off (skipped in places, e.t.c.). I have tried all formats to export; all of them look TERRIBLE. Is it possible that exporting in MPG-4 format would ensure decent quality? I'm asking because apparently the trial version does not have the codec for MPG-4 available to purchase/download. Just in case this might make a difference, this is a before/after comparison: http://www.imagehut.ws/fx_images/chronos_FFXIII comparison I.jpg http://www.imagehut.ws/fx_images/chronos_FFXIII comparison II.jpg (the first image is the in-program quality; the second image is the .MOV export) Also if someone could help simply explaining the export options a bit...I'd appreciate it. I admit I'm rather overwhelmed by the options & settings on the export window; this is really my first time experimenting with a professional movie edit program. I might be doing something wrong on the export settings...(I went with all default). Please help me out here.

I have the same problem with the trial version, but I feel the problem will still remain with the full version too. I played my DVD movie on my computer and there wasn't any problem with movie when played there. I had this problem with WinDVD Maker a few years ago and fixed the problem by adjusting the sound bit rate on my DVD player. Most simple DVD players will play the movie without any problems. I have, of course, have my DVD player set at the highest setting for my DVD movie enjoyment. I'm not sure how make MEP14 export in a different format, I will e-mail tech support for information. Hope this helps
