As Tero above mentioned correctly – capture over FireWire should be DV-PAL (or NTSC) this means DV25 (25Mbps). On HDisk it takes approx. 13GB per hour. I have a good experience with Movie Maker implemented in WindowsXP (Win7 MovieMaker is different and not suitable). You can capture to AVI container (DV25), then edit and send (record) back to tape over FireWire without any quality lose. This is the best way to have backup or archive. Next step is to keep it for future because playback DV25 on consumer equipment should not be so easy. Any conversion to DVD (MPEG2) would be quality degradation. H264 is a good choice.

I have the same problem. To all above suggestions I follows list of my experiences:
– copy AVCHD to HDisk (= no audio)
– rename to .AVI, Premiere CS6 is not supporting file format
– rename to .M2TS (header error)
– rename to .MP4 (= no audio)
– change sequence setup tracks to 5.1 (= no audio)
– the same with AVCHD files from Panasonic HMC151, AC90, Lumix LX7,…
Only successful solution at this moment is converting files to .MP4 with Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate (YES audio is OK, but file size after conversion is about half). I hope should come some good solution from Adobe.
