What software to use to batch convert AVCHD to MPEG2?

[hkl8324]

I recently brought a cam recorder which outputs AVCHD (mts) files, but at the very moment, I don't have Blu-ray burner or player to play with these files, so I want to convert them to DVD compliant MPEG2 file and burn them to DVD.

The bundled software (DVD moviefactory SE) can do that but it forces me to immediately burn the encoded MPEG2 files to DVD after encoding.

What I want is keeping them on the PC and edit them a bit before burning.
What software should I use?

Thanks

If you can play your AVCHD files with Windows Media Player you can try converting them to DVD folder structure using AVStoDVD

Thanks, I tried playing those files in Windows Media Player and it outputs something like this...I don't know what is wrong...

Using directshowsource in avisynth yields the same picture.

And for your information, here is the chain in Graphedit when opening the file:

And weirdly it plays properly in Graphedit...

Try with ffdshow as AVC video decoder, usually it is very "compatible" with DirectShowSource
