Q1: Is there a .mts to .avi or.wmv converter out there I can download?

I just got a new Canon HD camcorder with flash memory and just shot some video. When I downloaded the video to my computer it saved the files in a format called .mts which I think may be standard for certain AVHD recordings, or so I've heard. Anyway I've looked at several supposedly software options and all of them are just trials, or only post with watermarks. I just want a way to convert my .mts files into a file I can easily use with Sony Vegas. Please help!

Q2: If I convert .MTS video file to .AVI, will it be as high def?

I recorded a video in a Sony camera, and got a .MTS file. I want to convert it to .AVI but retaining its original high def quality. Is it possible? Or will the quality be less better?

Luckily, a friend of mine recommended me a Sony MTS to AVI Converter Mac which he tried very great. I download the free trial and found it's very easy to use, and can convert Sony AVCHD MTS files to AVI, XviD, DivX, HD AVI, etc on Mac OS X (Lion included). Then I bought it without any hesitating. If you have the same problem with me, maybe you can try it. Learn the details about how to convert Sony MTS to AVI Mac! Hope to help you.
