Thanks..

Cool. So, here is a little of what I tried:

So, it looks a lot better now. When I run the config wizard in kdenlive I
still have no qimage support. So, I re-compiled and re-installed mlt and
kdenlive. Still no qimage. Maybe I should reboot my computer...

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I will still keep my originals in .mts format,
though.

If you don't mind the bug reports, I'll continue to use AVCHD to edit videos
and see where we can improve kdenlive.
Thanks for the quick support, btw.

Yeah, I noticed that. But then, the files are big and my laptop's harddrive
is slow. What was done in OME is to generate an index, and work from that
when resizing clips and so on. The workflow is also different for me. So
far, I am getting used to kdenlive quite quickly. It's rather intuitive.

Oh, I did not mean that you should implement gmerlin. I just wanted you to
know where I was coming from and what toolkits I have used before.
Thanks for the support.
