I'm looking for some options to manage a Panasonic video archive and edit files.
I have a large archive (several hundred GB) of AVCHD video from an old Panasonic camcorder (HD TM350) and previously used Panasonic's bundled HD Writer AE software to organize the files and write out to DVD to share with family. The HD Writer software does not run on Windows 10. It's possible there is an upgrade but the other problem I recall is it was not really usable due to the size of the archive.
If I recall correctly, the raw video files are MTS and when I had tried before to edit them had to convert (to MP4, I think). Are there good options to manage the archive without losing quality and convert/stream the files for viewing? I have a PC (which doesn't have a great graphics card) and potentially access to a Mac sometime later this year (I don't know the spec but it's likely to be a middle range machine).
