Don't really have any footage myself to try it out, just thought I would post the news. Maybe someone with a camera or downloaded footage can check it out.

Wow! 1.0.0! Amazing! That thing has been in beta for years.

Nice that they left beta stage but the OSX version still does it's own macroblock errors and skips frames occasionally when playing back .mts files. It's hard to show, one has to pause at a frame in VLC but I manage to get one clear example and for comparison the same frame taken from a converted Quicktime file. In other words, do not use VLC to judge quality of AVCHD footage.
