Hi there!
I really appreciate you supporting AVCHD because editing movies I took with my camera has been an unsolvable problem for me for about two years now.
Also I am fascinated about the developments you recently did. Good work there.
But here's my problem:
At first, my problem was loading the MTS files at all. That problem was solved by simply renaming the files to .avi, I hope that was right.
Then, after some editing, I tried rendering the movie. I tried about 30 combination of different formats and profiles, but all of them are jerky. I can play the raw file in VLC without any problems.
I uploaded 2 sample files:
I am using Kdenlive 0.7.2.1 and Ubuntu 8.10.
Thanks for help!

Hm, I am also using a powerful machine, but the output doesn't work as well as the original file does here.
I also just found out that rescaling the movie does't work. I thought this might be a problem because of the high resolution, but whenever I acticate the option "Rescale" and enter anything I want, the output movie is 1920 × 1080.
