Your earlier project settings post shows you have the project set to 1080i. A standard HD video workflow is to be sure the camera is set to shoot 1080p. (The "i" means interlaced and it was appropriate for when we had tube TVs!). Then copy those video files to your computer using standard operating system sofware like File Explorer. Once on your computer, use Premiere Elements to put together your video.

When you start a new project with your 1080p footage, be sure to use a primary clip for your first clip. That will automatically set up the correct "p" (progressive) project.

It has been years since I had a Panasonic camcorder that used their HD Writer program. It had some useful features for people that didn't have good video editing programs. It also could cause problems with the footage for people that wanted to use better editing software.

I am sorry I do not understand "rip the disk"

If you want to use a movie from a DVD or Blu-ray disk you need to extract the content from the disk to the computer first.

That is called ripping.

My first guess is that the frame rate in your project settings don't match the frame rate of your source video files. Other odd issues can pop up if the source video files are "interlaced" instead of "progressive".

Can you post details about your project settings and source video files?
