I too believe that the AVCHD is the most important release, because it is by far the HD format that most people can handle.

That's funny. I know NOBODY who uses (or even KNOWS) the AVCHD format :-)

Sorry for the offtopic :-(

So people who don't, er, *acquire* films on a regular basis aren't going to know anything about these formats at all. They'll know what a DVD is, and they'll know a BluRay is. MKV? They probably don't even know that they can stream video from their computers; most people simply are not tech-savvy.

They're not going to be the ones downloading Harmy's film...they're going to be the ones who are given copies by friends. That's why the AVCHD is so important: BDs and BD burners are still not as cheap as DVD burners and media. (And yes DVD+R DLs are still significantly more expensive than normal DVD+Rs_) The AVCHD is an excellent value proposition in that regard.
