Copy/Transfer AVCHD MTS/M2TS Files from Camcorder to Computer

I notice that some questions about backup AVCHD files from camcorder to computer. Actually, there is manual process and wizard process to archive and transfer recorded videos to PC or external HDD. Here I would like to share my know-how to you about AVCHD files backup. The manual archive could be done without third party software, while the simple-click AVCHD files backup will be done with Aunsoft Final Mate.

- Manually copy and transfer AVCHD files from HDcam to computer.
For camcorders with internal flash memory or hard drive, you will notice that CAM_MEM as external drive on computer. If connected with SD card on camcorder, you will also get CAM_SD as external drive. For videos recorded on camcorder flash memory, you will find the AVCHD files manually from CAM_MEM > AVCHD > BDMV > STREAM. To find AVCHD .mts or .m2ts files from camcorder SD card, you shall go to CAM_SD > PRIVATE > AVCHD > BDMV > STREAM.
