I've had VideoStudio 11.5 since Corel offered it to us who had used MediaStudio 8.0 until they axed it. Now I have just tried the trial version of version 12. Boy am I glad I haven't bought it yet!
My problem is I have tried to create a usable AVCHD file from my AVCHD files from my Sony SR-11. I compiled the files on the timeline with transitions and then went to Share Files menu and created an AVCHD file. It created a file with an .mpg extension which I assume is an AVCHD file. However, when I click it to play it Realplayer attemps to play it and crashes. I then tried to play it in Windows Media player but it crashes. So, is the problem that Realplayer and/or Media player cannot play AVCHD files or is Videostudio the problem.
AVCHD rendered files crash

The software player you use has to be rated to play AVCHD. It is similar to Blu-Ray in this regard. As far as I am aware, WMP is not rated to play it. I don't know about RealPlayer as I refuse to have it on my computers. On my own set-up, both PowerDVD 8 and WinDVD 9 both play AVCHD. I have not tried Nero ShowTime, but the version with Nero 8 and 9 might do so since both suites can produce AVCHD of their own.
