Hurray!, Yes you can now natively play (AVCHD) .mts or .m2ts files on your Intel Mac running OS X Leopard. You need to download nightly build of VLC player (VideoLAN). Click on the following link to download it

AVCHDly yours, Enjoy Great HD Videos from your SONY or PANASONIC AVCHD Recorders!!!!!!
Hmm, unfortunately the nightly that I tried plays the audio but shows no video. Perhaps you can elaborate on which nightly, or where you read this information.
I tried the nightly’s from 20080423.
I used nightly from 20080419. It plays AVCHD perfectly with video and audio. BTW I have tried 20080423 nightly and it also plays AVCHD .mts files very well. May be you need to install iMovie’08 or FCP Studio 2.0 as they support AVCHD.
Hi I tried them all, and i only have video, no sound. Very unfortunate. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Hi! I accidentally recognized that Toast Video Player can play these mt2s videos
Thank’s a lot for your advises. I recently bougth a videocam sony hdr-sr11,, was unable to read the videos on my mac. I download the 20080423, it works well;

I’m using Sony TG1E. Both 20080423 and 20080425 are working fine in HD-HQ, HD-SP, HD-LP but it keep jumping when playing HD-FH format…..
20080708 plays .mts video but not sound. Clip plays smoothly in SP but jerky in FXP/60i. I have Canon HF10, OS 10.5.4. Anybody know if a build exists that works for A/V on my config?
Hi all,
I am trying to download the memory stick with HD AVCHD footage shot w/ sony HDR - TG1. I want to dump my card onto harddrive and be able to play it or convert it from the Hard drive at a later time. Does anybody know if this is possible, because all the files are grey when I try to import them into I movie 08?
Thanks for your time
Aaron
I have the same problem Aaron but with an HF10 and .mts files. I posted this here and got a response but it doesn’t work. Maybe it will work for you?
