Hi, I just did an update to latest version of Perian a few days ago
and that seemed to have affected wrapping .MTS files into .M4Vs
through Rewrap2M4V app. I use Rewrap2M4V to convert .MTS (HD)videos
from my Panasonic TM700 into .M4V in order to be able to import HD
videos into iMovie '11. I've been using it for months and it worked
perfectly until now.
After the Perian update, the wrapped video files have a loud
background noise and can barely hear the original audio.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or if there is someone out
there who hasn't done the update already could I please have a copy of
an older version?

Thanks,

CT
