With AVCHDCoder you can convert a MKV file to AVCHD. Almost everything will be done for you. It is almost fool proof. Because it is still Beta not everything can be done with the tool.
Possible introduction of a major issue. CoreAVC will let AVCHDCoder hang (Not responing) when CoreAVC is registered and in use as decoder. Un-Register and use ffdshow to fix the problem. CoreAVC's authors will be contacted by me.
Fixed - AC3 to AC3 or True-HD Core to AC3 conversion failed.
Fixed - WMV bug - introduced in 09.12.06
Fixed - 1440x1080 with an AR of 16:9: Borders were added. Now it will be resized to 1920x1080.
Fixed - 24fps movie went out of sync - introduced in 09.12.06
Fixed - ASS/SSA subs as source were not displaying correctly.
Fixed - Multiple cosmetic fixes in Queue
Fixed - Some 4:3 SD sources where stretched. Now Aspect Ratio will be kept.
Fixed - No message if there are unsupported characters in the path. (Allowed: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, &, . and whitespace) Posible future fix: Allowing other characters like é, ä etc. Problem lies in the batch scripts in combination with Encoding problems. But now a nice error will pop up.
Fixed - Sources with a negative audio delay went out of sync. Now black frames will be inserted. (Doesn't work for all sources with this problem)
Fixed - "strange" resolutions where not converted correctly
