Even though it is announced that Corel Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6 Plus software has added

AVCHD camcorder support and users can import and edit high definition footage from AVCHD camcorder discs, and convert to standard definition formats, but I still met troubles while importing the HD .m2ts files captured by means of a HD Sony Handycam type HDR-CX11E (PAL), I guess it is not as powerful as it claims.
