Does the trick!

Not terribly fast, but it does the job properly. Took my ‘crippled’ MTS file and rendered it out to a MOV. A good helper program. Original user interface takes a few seconds to acclimatize, but it is not inscrutable! If I needed the advanced features I would not hesitate to buy the Pro version.
