I'm interested in this too. The problem I am having is trying to play AVCHD files from a Canon HF-100 over component video output.
If I try playing them in Media Center, they look OK over HDMI but badly tear and deinterlace problems on the component out. If I play the same file in Arcsoft TMT, it plays much better over component. I used the Media Center Decoder Utility to try to force the Arcsoft video codec for Media Center but the problem persists.
Blu-ray plays back fine by the way over component, it's just these darn AVC-HD files.
