Play Panasonic SD700 1080/60p Video on PlayStation 3 with TV

The Panasonic HDC-SD700 can be viewed as an affordable alternative to the Panasonic HDC-HS700-K Full HD camcorder, which shares most of the same specifications. However, in place of a 240GB hard drive, the HDC-SD700 relies on removable flash memory. Even though Sony PlayStation 3 plays most native 1080 60p files flawlessly, there are still some AVCHD MTS files with picture adjustment that do not play smoothly on PS3.
