how can i down convert avchd

[jamminj2b]

My avchd video(cooking shows) were copied (hddvr) @ a bit rate of 5.0 mb about 300 shows
all my new shows are @ 2.0mb
I can record about 40 to 42 shows on a bd single layer @ this rate

i would like to convert the other 300 to the same rate none of my software can do this

hddvr?

AVCHD is a camcorder format. Please explain. Then post Mediainfo text for a typical file.

when im done downloding and check properties it calls it avchd .m2ts

Im using total media extreme to burn bluray this is the format there in and the play on bluray players

You could try shrink the m2ts video with avchdcoder or bdtoavchd. Or can't you shrink/reconvert with total media extreme?
