Does anyone have any advice on how to convert .m2ts files to AVCHD files ?
Also, are there any free converters that do the job properly, and without causing major heartache or headaches ?

The only video converter I have ever had any joy with is handbrake ...
I'm no expert but it would be worth a look

I recently bought a Panasonic Viera TV, and amongst things it will do is play video from SD cards or USB sticks.

I have a file in m2ts. format, and I need to convert it to another format for the tv to be able to read it.
So it's start of the learning curve time for me :doh:

your tv should be able to play some avi formats so try WinAvi and see how you get on.

Chris,
my LG tv is similar in what it does and I tried this to get m2ts files to play.
rename the movie file....ts instead of m2ts.

ie. filename.m2ts becomes filename.ts
This works with my LG plasma.

alternatively, try this next:

hope this helps,

Thanks Gaz.
Unfortunately I deleted the files in question, so I can't give it a go :rolleyes:

shame...
ah well.

one of these options SHOULD work though if you ever come across another m2ts file. :)
