Convert Sony HXR-NX5E MTS/M2TS to MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro on Mac

Source From: Brorsoft

I just purchased the Sony HXR-NX5E which produces AVCHD video. It didn't take long for me to find out that I am unable to edit the AVCHD files with Adobe Premier Pro. With that said, I'm looking for a way to convert the AVCHD files that get created when I upload the video from the camera in order to edit in Premiere. Also I'm looking for a way that will be easy but will retain the video quality. What is the best program to use to convert the video and what is the best file format to use?

After many times of tests,I find the MEPG-2 format is favorable by Adobe Premiere Pro. And I find the Brorsoft AVCHD to Premiere Converter for Mac which can help me to encode AVCHD clips to MPEG for Adobe Premiere Pro at fast speed with least quality loss. Plus, this Sony Video Converter comes with support for a wide range of video editing software including Sony Vegas, Cyberlink PowerDirector, Avid Media Composer, Windows Movie Maker, etc.
