Here is one that has a batch function and can certainly do
a good job with your video, (it does with those I
downloaded) but it is a little pricey.

This might be more taliored to your needs:

The "AVC HD Editor" that they sell only did transport streams (.ts)
when I tried it out. It is a simple GOP level cut edit program, and
exports "without transcoding of source files."

A more reasonably priced general purpose encoder:

also does a great job with such conversions.

Ken -

I have downloaded the trial versions of both, and will try them after I
get back from the cruise. Looks like a bit of a learning curve on either
one. But if it works out, it will be a very big help to me, now and in
the future if I ever get an AVCHD camera.

You might try the free "Avidemux 2.5.0" it is supposed to
do cuts of h.264 using a direct Copy mode for the output
selection. I haven't tried it yet but a lot of people like it.

Is that an editing program? As I said, I don't need an editing program
beyond Elements. I need a conversion program.

What is so frustrating is that these conversion programs want me to tell
them file formats that I just don't know which to choose. There are so
many it drives you nuts. I tried one called HDV, and it gave me an m2t
file that would not import into CS3. If I go to look at one of my Canon's
HDV files, and press "properties," it doesn't tell me enough about those
files.

I downloaded several pages from the internet on video file types. I will
study upon it and try and get a grip on it.

Leaving for my cruise in morning. Struggle with the video when I get back.
Maybe can convert them to WMV and be done with it.

I am beginning to think that you may benefit more from
looking at things related to CS3 itself. This could lead
you to a more useful answer:

http://hv20.com/showthread.php?t=7067

The encoders I provide links to have profiles for both
HDV1 and HDV2 formats and you are right their can
be a lot of detailed parameters to choose from. The
situation you have described suggests that you need to
find out the parameters for HDV that CS3 will accept
and work with.

Avidemux was offered as a free option (and really
more to address "rd"'s interests) it would not be my
recommendation, for your situation if you can afford
better.

Luck;
Ken
