m2ts file that plays in other apps, but won’t open in Vegas 8.0c

[Jerry Smith]

I agree that PMB is no great tool, but it does a few things I like:

– Organizes acquired clips in folders by date acquired (although I’d prefer date taken).
– It automates making a backup AVCHD DVD. Just highlight the clips, click the DVD button and do a few more clicks. The resulting DVD is a lossless copy of the original footage, with one .m2ts file containing all clips.
– It also automates making a standard DVD (MPEG) for sharing with others.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elemenets Organizer for managing still pictures and wish it could take on these videos, but it’s not AVCHD compatible (yet).
