Updated 10/25/07: Rabw mentions Elecard Converter Studio AVC HD Edition ($75 free trial) below as a potential solution. Of course, an afternoon of googling yielded no useful information about my Lite-On DH16A1L, which could be a culprit.

On my PC, the bundled software applications read the disc, but nothing else could. I also ran into an as-yet unsolved mystery: Windows XP on my system could not properly read the AVCHD disc (Windows Explorer reports zero objects), while our lab tech had no problem whatsoever on his system.

For what it's worth, the way Movie Factory handles AVCHD files is-unsurprisingly-just as annoying as VideoStudio 11's. Can you tell I've just completed my testing of the Canon HR10? The HR10 ships with four Corel applications: InterVideo WinDVD SE for playback Ulead DVD Movie Factory SE, for importing and transcoding AVCHD files into other formats DVD Movie Writer SE, for burning DVDs and GuideMenu, which seems to function much like Sony's MediaCheck tool, sitting in your system tray watching for AVCHD files to appear in your file system. You just end up with the worst of two worlds: slow, unstable (for real-time recording, at least) low-capacity media combined with a confusing, low-compatibility encoding format. Updated 10/24/07: I've never been a big fan of DVD-based camcorders, but mixing them with AVCHD seems to be one of the worst ideas evah. After a few days of retracing the Web tracks I made last year, I decided to share the current state of AVCHD support with all you potential buyers. That means you can't simply play the files on a computer, much less send them to your friends, without down-converting to SD (which defeats the purpose of spending the extra $500 or so for an HD camcorder).
Neither Microsoft Windows Media Player nor Apple QuickTime as yet offer decoders-a reader below claims he plays files in QT, but I think he's confusing the H.264 codec with the AVCHD format, because as far as I can tell, neither QT nor QT Pro recognize the format. Now, as then, the only thing you can easily do with the video is play it on an HDTV, direct from the camcorder. What surprised me was that the situation hasn't changed much since late last year when I reviewed its equally promising predecessor, the SR1. I just reviewed the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7, a very nice HD camcorder hamstrung by lack of software support.
