A quick test shows that avidemux can edit the file.  I've not checked to see if some components from RPM Fusion are required.  And, I've not check to see if there is any loss in quality when standard defaults are used to "copy" the video.

Seems "file" doesn't recognize the magic in the original

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ file Sample.MTS
Sample.MTS: data

But after a "copy" using the defaults

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ file Sample.copy
Sample.copy: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 1440 x 1080, >30 fps, video: H.264 X.264 or H.264, audio: Dolby AC3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ ll Sample.MTS Sample.copy
