So I bought a Panasonic HC-V500K at the Egg for a great price last week. Alas, the software is not compatible with Win 8 and even under compatibility settings doesn't install fully. Further, Win 8 wont recognize the device though its current. End of tale of woe.
I can copy the HD MTS file easily. I am looking for software to convert the MTS files to more convenient formats - especially .flc, mpg2, ect. for editing and sharing.
Would Handbrake do it?
What have you geeks found works well? Thanks.
