I've been using this, but now when I'm editing in Premiere Pro CS6 I'm getting VERY choppy playback, basically not viewable on the review of footage I'm trying to catalog.
Not sure, but perhaps something is going awry in the conversion??
Got a tip for us?

So apparently iMove 10.0 handles avchd natively now, according to the update notes.
I did an import from a Canon Vixia HF20 (which uses AVCHD) yesterday and the import was much faster than in previous versions of iMovie, (though not instantaneous). Also, I looked inside the iMovie Library package and saw that upon import the AVCHD clips (which have the .mts extension in their original form) were copied and converted to .MOV. These .MOV's were hundreds of MB, but still I think smaller in size than the AIC versions would have been. So that is good. But I don't know if they are just being re-packaged or actually transcoded. Anyone know?

Convert MTS Files to Editable Quicktime MOV
Some AVCHD files arent compatible with mac tools such as Compressor, iMovie etc. And the MOV is the Apple Quicktime common editable format.
wHY not use imelfin video converter for mac. So you can easily import it to Final Cut Pro on Mac for further editing.

ClipWrap
I use ClipWrap for all my re-wrapping and/or conversions ... I know FCPX 10.1 can import AVCHD files, but I like to convert my AVCHD Sony media into ProRes with a .mov wrapper and then import that media or parts of what I need in FCPX..Works very smooth and less strain on the CPU during optimizing media import..

Is this http://en.freedownloadmanager.org/Mac-OS/Rewrap2M4V-FREE.html your file? Can I trust downloading it from there?Transcoding .MTS files (AVCHD footage) to an editable format (.MOV)
Since this topic comes up a lot and searching does not seem to be successful, here is a little guide on how to transcode .MTS files into .MOV files.
Transcoding .MTS files (AVCHD footage) to an editable format (.MOV)
1. Download ClipGrab, as it has a component (ffmpeg) the next application (2.) needs.
2. Download this Automator script called Rewrap2M4V.
3. Drag the .mts file(s) onto the unzipped Rewrap2M4V application.
4. See the results with the new .m4v file(s) being created.
5. Download MPEG Streamclip and open the resulting .m4v file.
6. Select File > Export to QuickTime (CMD+E).
7. ...
Can I just use mpegstreamclip for cuting and then instead of opening QuickTime to compress or reencode it, can I just let mpegstreamclip save it as m4v?
Can rewrap concatenate several .mts files? I posted a similar question here https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ncatenate-mts-snippets.2061572/#post-24916085 because I also want to get rid of Filler bytes and Teletex.
Thanks, in September my google search didn't come up with much. I'd like to download it from the developer himself though, preferably, but since there is no other way, I guess I will have to download it from one of those sources.
