Having bought a Panasonic DMC-TZ7 and having no means to play the AVCHD .mts files on my MacBook Pro (2006 17" model), a read through the lengthy TZ7 thread here revealed that the freeware "VLC" player would read them.
I have downloaded and installed VLC but as my TZ7 hasn't arrived from Amazon yet I have no .mts files to try out...I'm dying to see how they look and how the VLC player performs...anyone got a link to a file I could download and play please?

In the market for a decent pocketable digicam and as an owner of a Panasonic DMC-FZ30 (too big for carrying around) and a DMC-FX01 I was all set to buy a Canon G10 when I came across the TZ7 and was impressed by it's specs and the positive reviews everywhere...the icing on the cake was its HD video recording and the fact it's cheaper than the Canon G10.
I ordered it from Amazon.co.uk on Wed evening and signed up for the free Amazon Prime trial offer...an email on Thurs morning stated it had been despatched for delivery today via Royal Mail...it didn't bl**dy well arrive but the Bytestor 4gB SDHC card ordered separately at the same time on Weds night did...so frustrated as I'd hoped to have the battery charged and a play with it tonight before using it tomorrow at my home town's Gala day parade...hopefully it'll arrive early in the morning.

Ignore the "TZ7" part of the title...I meant any .mts file.

I put it for clarity as I felt you wanted the mts files from th TZ7 specifically

AFAIK mts files are not identical even though the h.264 standard is

I would post this request in camcorders for easier replies as many camera owners may no have avchd producing kit

The files from the TZ7 also play through the panny BD35 blu-ray player with the SD card slot.
