AVCHD is not HDV. HDV is MPEG-2 video inside MPEG-2 Transport Stream. AVCHD is 
MPEG-4 part 10 (H.264) video, also in MPEG2-TS. AVCHD is pretty much 
uncharted territory in Free Software. ffmpeg's ts demuxer and h.264 decoder 
are not prepared to handle the unique features used in this format.

No, it is not "supported." Be prepared to do some hacking.
