If you’ve bought one of the new AVCHD camcorders and then realized there’s no way to edit the footage, there’s an interim option from a company in Russia.
Elecard, a provider of compression technology, has introduced Converter Studio v1.1, a software pack that converts video to MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2 formats. The company says the application can be used to convert AVCHD camcorder files into formats supported by a number of common editing software applications.
The new version of Converter Studio, with folder batch-encoding capability, is touted as faster and higher quality than the original. The software package was designed for broadcast content preparation and quick migration of video libraries and archives from one format to the other.
The Windows-only application has two new modes that open files either as multi-source or single files, and has predefined HD-DVD and Blu-Ray modes with AVC presets. For audio, it can support .WAV, MPEG-1 Layer II, MPEG-1 Layer III, AAC, and AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) format files.
Elecard Converter Studio is available as a suite that includes Converter Studio, Converter Studio Pro and Converter Studio ProHD. Elecard Converter Studio Pro is designed for conversion of video with resolution up to standard definition (720x576).
Elecard Converter Studio and Elecard Converter Studio ProHD enable high-resolution encoding (HD 1920x1080). Pro and ProHD versions also support transport streams. Prices begin at $239.70.
Today must be regarded as a turning point in the lives of all the world’s AVCHD camcorder users. Elecard has officially stated that a program for movie file conversion from AVCHD to HDV and DVD formats has been finally released.
Elecard Converter Studio AVCHD Edition includes a lot of features that will help you out while converting your AVCHD such as extended access to encoder settings, profile creating and many others. If you’re not really into all the video settings stuff and don’t have a lot of experience in configuring encoders then you’ll probably really like the set of preconfigured profiles that will help you convert your videos in an easy way. You can also create, edit and save your own profiles in case you need to convert many files with the same settings or the preset profiles don’t seem quite suitable for you. The program can be purchased for just $75.

I'd better consider their new toolset: Elecard AVCHD studio http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/consumer/avchd-suite/ . AVCHD player + AVCHD editor (just merges and trims a stream)+ Converter Studio AVCHD Edition. All three for $100, what a bargin.
