I agree that desktops are best hence my decision to go that route hopefully soon. I did make some really good AVCHD videos before something went radically wrong with my software. Thank goodness it was this year and not last as I had a fantastic holiday in New York with lots of HD footage resulting in several well edited HD discs.
HD edit I see you use a connection between the camcorder and the computer to input to a folder, which if I understand you,becomes the source folder for input into PD10. I was just wondering how you connect the SD900 to the computer- USB (is it one of the high speed USBs?), Firewire or HTML or what? I would have thought like Davos input direct from the SDHC card would eliminate any external cables but perhaps the Reader conn within the computer is slower?
Finally I take it, the MTS file structure is recognised by selecting the input as from an HD Camcorder is that right?

I intend to purchase a high spec desktop at the end of the year so it looks as though I will have to restrict my video editing to HD Writer until then. But Davos does the Panasonic HDC -SD 900 create MT2s or MTS files and how do you import them when that file type is not included in the file type options. Do you connect your camcorder to the computer or import from the SDHC card direct (via the reader)?

I have been creating videos of my travels and holidays for over 15 years. I have used many software packages and various computers over the years. Over the last couple years I have been using VideoStudio Pro X2 which I got to know really well. When I purchased a new Hi Def Camcorder (Panasonic HDC -SD 600) and Upgraded my TV to a large screen HD. I was pleased to see that Videostudio could create AVCHD discs which I use for playback of my Video.
However some time last month my VideoStudio began to create discs that were full of pixellation and shimmer. I immediately thought it was a hardware problem and replaced the burner. The Hardware and Computer check out was quite thorough and showed no faults. The clincher came when I used Panasonic's provided software HD Writer which produced a perfect AVCHD disc. This proved the hardware ok and pointed to the software. I checked and PowerDirector 10 would seem to be the best alternative to Videostudio. But I did not want to purchase the software until I tried creating an AVCHD disc and viewing the result. However the trial version seems to have limitations and there is a problem with importing Panasonics MTS and M2ts files. I would like to find out if anybody has used my camcorder (or similiar) with PowerDirector 10 to find out how they overcame the MTS input problem and have successfully burned AVCHD discs.
