Just got a digital camera that records videos in AVCHD. It looks great when I play it on the playstation 3 but I also would like to put it on a DVD to play in other sources.
What is a decent converting software for this purpose. I would prefer free software because I am a tightwad.
Thanks and sorry about the Newb question.

My only experience with this format is small sample clips.
I'm assuming that your files and my clips are the same format.
The clips were .mts (thirty-six seconds) and .m2ts (ten seconds).
On my PC the times to encode varied from long to very long.
The 10 second .m2ts clip required 30 minutes in DVD Flick.
The 36 second .mts clip took 4 minutes.

Required software:
Install AviSynth
Install Haali Media Splitter
Install DVD Flick
Create an AviSynth script with NotePad thus:

DirectShowSource("C\path\to\your\file\video.mts")

Save script as video.avs
# also accepts .m2ts
Open the script (video.avs) in DVD Flick and 'Create DVD'.

Note that it might be possible to directly load and convert the files to DVD compliant files using 'Xvid4PSP' - but I haven't followed up.

I changed the script for the .m2ts file to reflect the frame rate of the source, thus:
DirectShowSource("C\path\to\your\file\video.m2ts",fps=29.97)

It encodes much faster ~1:49 instead of 30 minutes - still slow for a ten second clip.

Forgot to mention that I also needed FFDshow installed and the settings thus:
Set h264 to libavcodec
