[Camera] AVCHD Help

[-Bane]

I have a camera that records both AVCHD and MJPEG. AVCHD wins on quality, but it seems the support for this shit is non-existent. Is there a way to convert AVCHD videos (.mts) into something that the rest of the world recognizes (.avi, .mov, whatever) for free?

if you convert it then it's going to lose quality anyway

Hmm there's not an equivalent "high-def" format that's not so esoteric? DivX vids have always looked high quality to me.

Sony Vegas Pro

Also to edit the audio I think you need Sony Sound Forge

Edit: Didn't read the free part. It is available for free in certain 'stores' if you're into that kind of thing.

sony vegas works very well
download vlc to play them easily enough, it supports it no prob

edit also can download mjpeg codec and install it for use in virtualdub

edit also if i rememeber correctly, look up avchd and "virtualdub mod" that is what I used back when it was new(ish)
