Just downloaded that new version of VLC and it does an incredible job of playing MTS files from the Canon HF100. I've been using VLC for several months and that is one great file player.

Media Player Classic Home Cinema is an extremely light-weight free program for Windows.

MPC Home Cinema also has H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support, you can playback AVCHD files smoothly.

VLC media player - Overview

This may catch up someone’s interest: I have noticed that different PC players – such as Windows Media Player (ver.12), Windows Media Center, and VLC media player (ver. 1.1.2) show AVCHD footage a little bit differently.

I cannot say the difference is huge but never the less, it’s evident.

And the best I like how the VLC plays back AVCHD. Interesting enough, this software can play even AVCHD clips recoded with chroma subsampling 4:2:2 or/and in the xvYCC color space.
