So you want to convert AVCHD files to something else?  You record long takes?

Transcode it to h.264?  I'd suggest ProRes or Cineform but only HitFilm Pro supports it.

Or change editor, to perhaps DaVinci Resolve 12?

The AVCHD container contains a h.264 stream which can be lossless copied into a mp4 container.

That's a very fast and easy process which can be done with ffmpeg stream copy

If I remember right there were some problems with interlaced AVCHD in ffmpeg years ago and I don't know if it is fixed yet but you can give it a try.

Why don't you buy the Premium Formats package for HitFilm Express, it's only $8.50.

https://hitfilm.com/store/hitfilm-4-express#premium-formats

 

Or switch over to DaVinci Resolve 12.5, which BlackMagic provides a free version which is nearly as capable as the paid Studio version.

ForEach ($file in Get-ChildItem  ".\inputfolder\" -Filter "*.mts")
{
$filename = -join ("./inputfolder/", $file.name)
$outname = -join ("./outputfolder/convert", $file.name, ".mp4")
./ffmpeg.exe -i $filename -c:v copy -c:a copy $outname
}

Not the prettiest powershell script but it should work

What kind of editing do you do?  Because if it's simply a matter of joining various video clips together you can do the same in Resolve.

 

And Resolve should support more formats than HitFilm Express without having to purchase any additional packages/licenses.  You should be able to import AVCHD, ProRes, Cineform, etc.

Give Resolve a try, or convert the AVCHD format to MP4 if you still want to use HitFilm Express or purchase the Premium Formats package.

Alright, so it seems quite a number of editors do not like dealing with MTS files.  I've used them in Premiere without any problems.  Convert it to something else then.

 

Read this discussion, they also give a link to what might be a good converter.

I guess Resolve doesn't have an ac3 decoder
