Software : Photoshop Elements 6 & Premiere Elements 4 Bundle (PC)

Rating: - Caution: this software does not support AVCHD
I bought Premiere Elements 4 specifically to edit my HD footage created with a Sony HD camcorder on MemoryStick in the AVCHD format. Being suspicious that the product details claim HD editing but not specifically the popular AVCHD format, I contacted Adobe Customer service and Technical Support to get re-assurance that it would work - which they did, Regrettably having made the purchase and actually tried it, I found that it would not import any AVCHD files that would play correctly. I could hear sound but no video, so I contacted Technical Support again and this time received quite different advise. They now say PE4 does NOT support AVCHD and if I had bought the software for this purpose I should contact Customer Service for a refund. Very dissappointing and no indication if this version will EVER get AVCHD capability through updates. Shame on Adobe, so if you are looking to do AVCHD editing you should probably look elsewhere.
