 Summary of the bug:
 Using ffmpeg to rewrap an AVCHD .mts file to .mov results in a file which
 does not play in Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere, and the OS X Finder
 thumbnail shows all white.  If instead, I use the application
 [http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap ClipWrap] to do this conversion, I
 don't have any of these problems.  I got a small explanation from the
 !ClipWrap developer:
   We still need to index every PES packet in the h264 stream to build a
 legit !QuickTime header and sample table - ffmpeg fudges that, which makes
 files that are playable but not properly editable.

 How to reproduce:
