Thanks for the Bond clip.
I have made an AVCHD DVD with TME using the your clip without re-encoding. Can you please post your capture settings & what you use, as Arcsoft states the following:

Thank you for contacting ArcSoft.

Regarding your issue, the smart rendering engine only works for the TS file with default settings without any cutting. Smart Render means that TM Studio will not encode the video, and you will get smaller file size with faster speed. If there is any cutting/editing, TM Studio will re-encode the video file, and the re-encoded file will be bigger than the original one.
