.mts to .mp4

[fishingjude]

Hello I just bought a panasonic camcorder that I will have to convert the .mts file to .mp4 to work on Imovie . I just wanted to know if there is much if any
loss in quality in the video and does it retain it's size 1080p (AVCHD) after conversion. After I am done editing on Imovie , what would be the best
and highest quality way to burn onto a dvd for playback on HD tv. Thanks

XMedia Recode might work.

Sound like an mac os user...so I'm moving you to our mac section.

Maybe try mpeg streamclip.

on Mac OSX, Have you tried HandBrake yet?

MkvToMp4 (it won´t reencode your clips, I have used it with Panasonic .mts files and works well)

Thanks for the help . I am now going to try handbrake and MkvToMp4 and since I just received the camera.
Thanks

ClipWrap or MP4Tools may also do the job.

So far , handbrake seems to work very well and pretty easy. Thanks
