Free software for viewing/converting AVCHD

I have a Panasonic G2 camera that I took some video on, in AVCHD format. I've never used this before and I want to be able to share it with others. I finally figured out that the .MTS files are the bulk of the video content, and I was able to watch it on my Mac with VLC. But these files are part of a whole convoluted directory structure. And I took the video in portrait mode so it's rotated 90 degrees from what it should be.

What I am looking for:

  • is there a decent free converter out there besides HandBrake (for OSX) from .MTS to another format??
  • are any of the other files in the convoluted directory structure important, or can I just forget about them?
  • which is the best video format to convert to?
  • how can I rotate 90 degrees?

  • Please reopen. The only one of these that is a duplicate is the question of the free converter. The other 3 parts are not duplicates. – Jason S Nov 22 '10 at 17:01
  • ...and for what it's worth, the question you cited only has one answer with one software package mentioned. I am editing to ask for alternatives to HandBrake. – Jason S Nov 22 '10 at 17:03
  • @Jason. Please review the FAQ. Ask one question with one answer, not 4 questions and multiple possible answers. I repeat, **one requirement** difference does not make it any less a duplicate, and asking 4 questions in one defeats the purpose of Super User. Also, no where in here do you mention handbrake? If the other question is not new enough, put a bounty on it. – BinaryMisfit Nov 22 '10 at 19:27
  • @Diago: please read more carefully, I just edited immediately after my comment. – Jason S Nov 22 '10 at 22:17
  • ...and apparently you guys are more strict here than StackOverflow. On SO this would not have been considered an exact duplicate. But fair enough, I'll split into separate questions. – Jason S Nov 22 '10 at 22:18
  • @Jason I somehow doubt this would have been accepted on SO. But you are correct, due to the audience and content Super User is fairly strict. – BinaryMisfit Nov 24 '10 at 10:17
