Thanks Joe. Is there a recommended way to convert the file without losing resolution on it? I normally use Vegas for file format conversions and would need another more file tolerant tool.

A complication is that I was planning to use AVCHD DVDs to archive my footage. They merge separate clips into one file, and embed the flaw somewhere in the middle. I’d have to convert the whole (up to 4 GB) file to make sure Vegas could read it, which would take up to two hours on my PC at Vegas rendering speeds.

It would be disappointing if Sony camcorder m2ts files very often weren’t readable by Sony Vegas.
