I own a Sony HDR-SR7 and have been using it for about 6 months.
Well the hard drive is getting full.
What I would like to do is transfer the AVCHD files (.mt2 extentsion) to a computer near my HD TV and play them back.
The only problem is even with a super fast computer and a super fast video card, playing back AVCHD does not work well.
Why can’t Sony or a video card manufacturer place the small AVCHD playback chip that is in my Sony HD camcorder on a video card?
Or why doesn’t Sony make a hard drive AVCHD playback device (similar to a TIVO).
Update: Looks like they do build a card for this now, see comment below!

The new range of ATI HD graphics cards like the HD3850 or HD3650 have built in HD decoding including H264/ AVC. They take over decoding from the processor and will play m2ts files with very little cpu utilisation.
Malcy,
Wow, thanks for letting me know that!
I was wondering when try would build something like this for us AVCHD file users.
