I tried Movist it makes a fairly good stab at it, I feel Windows 7 is a
bit smoother and that would be my choice at the moment. Quite impressed
at Movist though a hell of a lot better then Toast and VLC... its nearly
there!

I'm guessing Movist's ffmpeg is more recent than VLC's, or something?

MPEG Streamclip could open it - it says mts is an MPEG Transport Stream
- but it needs the MPEG2 Quicktime plugin from Apple in order to do
this successfully.

Hard to tell. It's compiled into the movist executable, it's not
obviously in the lib folders of VLC, and I can't find any version
reference for either... Both VLC and Movist are at the latest versions
according to their selfcheckers.

Mine said that too. And it's been saying that for the last two years,
even though it's got the bloody MPEG2 Quicktime plugin.
