Long MTS files (AVCHD) causing freeze/hang
If you are one of the many thousands experiencing freezing, hanging or other poor performance when working with long/spanned MTS files (AVCHD) then please take one minute and visit the Adobe Bug report. They are aware of this, but need your voice to move this to the “front burner” for their next bug fix:

(This is Adobe’s bug report page)
Send Adobe something like “Long/spanned MTS (AVCHD) files cause hanging/freezing”
also, most are also complaining about “Audio RE-conforming” each time one of these projects opens, maybe send that too.
They respond to volume, so let’s “turn up” the volume.

Well that’s AVCHD for ya. It’s a goddamn horrible codec and I wish people wouldn’t use it.

This is why I prefer transcoding to working native. For many codecs.

I’m surprised it plays the MTS files as well as it does…I’ve learned to be patient and not go too crazy with fast shuttle and reverse.
I will add my voice, but overall I’m ok with a little AVCHD lagginess for what I save on disk space and transcode time.
For bigger/crucial projects I might transcode to gain some performance back.
My biggest complaint is file relinking — it’s so poor, it makes native MTS very dangerous unless I’m careful with file naming on import. If I don’t, I have to try to remember which one of the the fifteen or twenty 00003.mts files I used in a particular bin of a project. And PPro will happily link to any of them, correct or not.

Chris:
The problem is that Adobe CS5 and CS5.5 worked PERFECTLY with .MTS spanned files (where it starts new .MTS files every 4GB of data) but with the release of CS6 it cannot handle the spanned clips.
If you have short, non-spanned MTS then CS6 works fine, but for wedding/event videographers, this is a real issue.Eternity…don’t miss it for the world.
