In terms of quality output...

what is the best AVCHD transcoder?

How do NLEs like AE CS4 and Sony Vegas stack up?


Thanks

Transcoder? For an intermediate codec?

Yes.

Neoscene and VoltaicHD are front runners for transcoders. Supposedly Neoscene procues a better quality output.

AE CS4 can import and edit AVCHD but I don't know if the quality is that good, and it's slow.

Adobe Media Encoder works well for my AVCHD Clips.

I use Neoscene for mine then bring that into AE for editing and final output.
Neoscene really makes editing easy.

I use AE CS4 and am very happy with it :)

Do you guys do not have any problems with fast moving objects creating jagging line on the quicktime file? Native file is fine for me but after conversion quicktime is not so good. I use sony vegas 9 and mpegstreamclip
