a 1.5GB AVCHD file uncompresses into 10GB? DUH!
That's not apple's fault! The file would uncompress into the same size on Windows! HD video is simply HUGE.
No quality improvement after uncompressing? Uhm, again, DUH
Ever tried to convert an MP3 to a WAV? What's gone is gone mate.
The only reason AVCHD gets converted first is because H.264 is an incredibly demanding codec which is pretty hard to edit on the fly unless it's GPU accelerated.
Instead of complaining about how Apple sucks for not having proper support of a (relatively new) codec try sending in feedback forms on adding such support.
If you want to rant, fine, go ahead, but don't rant without actually trying to improve the situation!
Oh btw, since Snow Leopard is getting OpenCL i'm guessing iMovie (among others) gets GPU acceleration ^_^.
There, problem solved. There's one feature that doesn't yet work the way you want and you're making it sound as if your girlfriend broke up with you!
It's annoying that it doesn't properly work, I know, but don't go ranting and blaming people or company's like Apple for stuff that isn't their fault in the first place. (such as the uncompressing video size thing)
For the person that thought it was strange that a CPU can't playback AVCHD while the small hardware chip can:
- It does not take a intelligent person to work as a boxing person for a factory
- It does take an intelligent person to manage and oversea the whole factory.
CPU's are more like they can do A LOT decently whereas the hardware dedicated chips can do ONE thing VERY good.

LOL! Come to the party late and insult people. That will make you look good.
I never defended Apple, wasn't being arrogant or snobby, or bone-headed. I may have been a little cheeky though.
Go get a sense of humor.
