AVCHD Converter for MAC for .MTS and .M2TS

Panasonic and Sony developed a new HD format for camcorders. The format has been named Audio and Video Compression for High Definition also known as AVCHD. The format is being used by Panasonic (News - Alert) and Sony in their consumer camcorders. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec is used to record 1080i*1 and 720p*2 signals onto certain media. On camcorders, the file extensions are mts.
