playing AVCHD video files

[gekim]

I am using the trial version of Mezzmo - yet another refugee from Samsung's PC Share programme! I have Mezzmo up and working fine with my Samsung BD-C5500.

VOBs, MKVs play fine - but the main advantage over the the Samsung software will be the ability to play AVCHD files recorded on my Canon HFS21 directly. The Mezzmo has AVCHD on the list of container formats it can read:
"MPEG-2 transport stream format (AVCHD): mpegts, m2ts, mts"
but for some I get an "unsupported format" message. Are these container types read directly or trans coded? I have a PC with Intel i7, quad processor.
This file was diretc from a Panasonic Hi Def video camera - here is the ffpeg info:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 50.00 (50/1) -> 50.00 (50/1)

Can you decipher why this one is an incompatible file format?

Many thanks!

That file should play fine natively (if you're using the Samsing BDP or BDP 3D device profiles). Possibly there's something in the file's encoding that prevents it from playing.

Does it play using PCSM?
