AVCHD and M2ts prob!

[WaiHoong]

i have transferred Hd files (M2ts files) from sr-12 camcorder by using the sony PMB to a folder...and have registered the folder as 'Viewed"

 

i've tried on two laptops

 

one laptop showed those files were playable by "realplayer" but stucked half way..each and everyone...

 

another laptop showed those M2ts files unplayable as those icons indicated "RAW" and i had to "Open With" a player...i've tried....but still unplayable...

 

last step..i've converted them into Mpeg but normal video converters... but the quality dropped!

 

My Qs are:

0) Did anyone experience this before using AVCHD and M2ts?

 

1)are my laptops unable to support AVCHD video? even if i open them by AVCHD player..those videos appears black and white, greenish and brownish....

 

2) do i need a good editing software for rendering them into HD rather than normal video converter?

 

Sounds long winded...but i think not a prob for reading by those experienced...btw...sorry for my bad English

 

Hope anyone could help me...

Thanks a bunch!
