Thanks for the link - I just started videotaping and I'm wondering if there's a better way to convert MTS to AVI than what I've been doing.

If you shoot XAVC-S you'll have avi files as opposed to MTS. You have to have minimum a 64gb card that is at least UHS-1 to use XAVC-S.

If for some reason you're shooting AVCHD over XAVC-S, you can always just rewrap the footage from MTS to AVI which just takes a few seconds. Clipwrap (http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap) works pretty well, and it'll transcode if you need it. Personally if I'm going to transcode I use DaVinci Resolve and throw a grade on the footage.
