Convert an .M2TS file

Can anyone recommend a program to convert this to something easily viewable? My daughter receiced a Canon HF 10 for Christmas that outputs M2TS files and would like to share videos with us (grandparents) and others. Free is best, but willing to spend a few bucks for something good and easy.

Does the Canon software not provide other output formats?

There seem to be plenty of options out there, most of which are try-before-buy.

I use meGUI. It isn't the easiest program out there, but it gets the job done and I find it offers the best quality/file size.

You could try the FFDSHOW codec for the Windows Media Player. A free download that plugs into the video player that comes with Windows.

Another option, other than meGUI, is XviD4PSP. Also free.

I assume, when you say "easily viewable", that you mean an .avi file.

I have not converted M2TS files with it, but I have been a long time Super user for many video conversions without any problems

It has those two things you love in software

Free
Easy
