Couldn’t agree more. There is actually a selection, even if you have an approved card, to turn off the Mercury engine and force CS5 into ‘software mode’. The selections are mislabled. They should read…
1 – Get work done
2 – Watch paint dry.Steve Brame

Cineform has been the ‘go to’ codec for a while to edit AVCHD files in Premiere. However, since CS5, we haven’t felt a need to transcode to Cineform for our AVCHD media, as CS5 handles them without any problem at all. That being said, we have an 8-core PC with 24GB of RAM and a nVidia Quadro 4000 card. Of course machine capability determines AVCHD edit smoothness.

Heeeeyyyy…I’m no expert or anything, but you’ve really got something here. I’ve been trying to imagine how this was going to look, and I had no idea that it would look this good!

OK…just tried importing your MPEG into Premiere Pro CS5, and no pixelation. Here’s a screen cap of the Program Monitor…
Now, I import this PNG into AE, and it pixelates, again, mainly at the edge of the red, or perhaps the red is just more noticeable than the other more muted colors.
Now…I export to an AVI, and bring that into AE – pixelation. So I guess we can say it’s definitely how AE is interpreting the file.

Cool…just throwing out thoughts. I don’t use PowerDVD, so I was just wondering why it would be playing at 1080.

First of all, converting or transcoding an compressed video to an uncompressed format doesn’t increase the quality, it merely gives you an uncompressed file of the same data that was in the compressed version.
We’ve been remiss in asking what your comp’s size is? If you are placing a 720 x 480 image into a 1080 comp and making the image match the comp, you’re asking for a lot of pixelation.
Another thought, what is your Resolution/Down Sample Factor set for the comp viewer?

Hey…a very few years ago when I was going to college(again), the professor asked us to divide into 3 groups. I dubbed ours ‘Group W’.
The prof was the only one who got it.
