Title: Not good for AVCHD files
Product review: Pinnacle does not offer a trial version so I bought this product on the assumption that it would work with AVCHD files... and it does... but the rendered output is absolutely awful in any format that will play on my computer or standard DVD player. I did not test HDDVD or BlueRay since I don't have one of those players. The quality is much worse than the DVD output the free software Sony includes with their cameras. My advice is don't buy this if you want it for AVCHD. You will not like the output and since it's software you can't return it. Take a look at Sony Vegas instead. It costs about the same and you can download a trial version (30 days, fully functional)to be sure.
