Best way to merge MTS files from a digital camera
What is the best way to merge the MTS files which were originally 1 video but saved in many parts by the camera? I’m looking for a way to do this without loosing from the quality and any hearable or visible signs where the parts are put together. Many thanks!

I do it old-skool. When I copy over from my SDHC/SDXC cards, I open a Cygwin shell, then run something like:
cd /cygdrive/d/Video/NewProject
cat /cygdrive/e/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.MTS /cygdrive/e/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00001.MTS > new_original.mtsSomething like that. When most cameras break up files at the 4GB boundary, they do it at exactly the 4GB boundary. That means you really do have to concatenate the files, as they can be broken up in the middle of a GOP and Transport Stream Packet.
You do this in a Windows shell, something like:
cd d:videoNewProject
copy /b e:PRIVATEAVCHDBDMVSTREAM -
Have you try PMB 5.8? This is sony’s software delivered with Sony TD10 camcorder. It does join, edit and split the video.
