NEED HELP CONVERTING FILES FROM .MTS

[Bakerman]

So, the other day I went out and dropped a few hundred on a new camera so that I could get some more Youtube footage. Well, the camera saves the vids as an ACVHD or .MTS file. I've downloaded several .MTS editors and converters, but I always end up with the same problem. The end footage, whether converted, or edited, always loses its 1080p quality, and the result is a grainy or laggy video. Does anyone know a fix to this without spending a buttload of $ on software?

Have you tried free studio?

It says it'll convert .mts files, but I dunno about acvhd. When you're ready to convert it, at the bottom, either select original quality, or full hd.

Yeah, i tried it yesterday. It gives me a grainy video, with the audio lagging behind.

What kinda camera is it? Maybe that will help a bit, not sure
