Jasper, yes, I should have added the Plus, but I was more interested in the actual numbers, which were correct. FYI, there is no ordinary VS11.5 without the Plus, by the way, unlike VS11/11+. As for my comment about there not having been an original VS11.5+, the box labeled VS11.5+ sold by Corel and others, as far as I am aware, contains VS11+, not a full, already updated version of VS11.5+. You install VS11+ but still have to install the 6 November 2008 update patch and then the 8 November Power Pack to get full VS11.5+ functionality.

As for the long delays in reacting, that is one of the many side effects with AVCHD -- although 23 seconds sounds long, even for that. Mind you, while a Core 2 Duo can handle AVCHD in its native format, your laptop is at the bottom end of the Core 2 Duo range and the added slowness could be a result of that. As far as possible, I would be using only my Quad for AVCHD. Even on mine, I get several seconds delay when dealing with AVCHD even for VS to highlight an AVCHD thumbnail, let alone play it. It is just an incredibly demanding format!!!

I think the VS dudes can implement something like killing the process in the buffer thread (think the lib will signal the KILL signal) once the pause key is pressed.

Maybe some graphic-card-fabric-guys can develop a new graphics card with a huge fpga on it so users can download executable code into it.
Then when a new codec comes out; one downloads it to the fpga et voila; H265 compression on the graphics card instead of doing this codec *** on the PC.

Untill that time give your Quadcore a tap on its shoulder (or gently tap your PC-tower will do), do it for me please and it will live for the coming months to come.

Best wishes,
