Another way to edit AVCHD on a Mac, or a Windows system, for that

PCIe card to ingest via HDMI, transcoding to your codec of choice.

Yes, it works better with the ".com" TLD. :) That wasn't a
copy-and-paste - it was (mis)typed from memory.

Also, if I had a high definition (HD) AVCHD file with a .MTS extension
and I was going to change the extension to something else in the hope
that a particular program would now be able to read the file, the
extension that I would try would be .M2TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream),
since that's the wrapper that HD AVCHD files use.

Additionally, with regard to my iMovie '08 suggestion, I should have
mentioned that an Intel based Mac is required for AVCHD support.
There's no AVCHD support when running iMovie '08 on an old PowerPC
based Mac.
