Hey guys,
My parents just picked up a HD Camcorder for their upcoming trip to the Philippines. I'm trying to figure everything out for them. Camera is a Canon Vixia HG21 (High Definition with 120 gig hard drive).
They would like to store the files on the PC and burn DVDs, and possibly eventually burn BlueRay DVDs.
Anyways, it looks like the recorded files are in .MTS format. The software that came with the camera is horrible. Does anybody know of a program that is easy to use and will convert .MTS files to a format that is more recognizable? Something free?
I did some google searches, and I tried 4Videosoft MTS Converter. There are about a hundred different file conversion options, but I tried .AVI, MPEG, and .mp4. None of those worked, except for the MP4, but the picture quality was really bad. Maybe I'm just not picking the right file type to convert to.
Also, is there any video editing software out that can read .MTS files yet? Maybe a newer version of Sony Vegas?
Thanks!
Daniel
