I am now a grateful fan of Deeeeeeeee, who brought, what I consider, the best free solution to the Dolby MTS (blah, blah, blah) dilemma. That being the software: XMediaRecode3430. It absolutely works perfectly in converting the audio (and only the audio) of a MTS file into a non-Dolby format of your choice (I'm using the Mp4) without, REPEAT, without compromising or degrading the video; because it allows you to "copy" the video while transcoding the audio into a new file. By the way Deeeeeeeee, after creating the new Mp4 file, why do I need to rename it back to a MTS ext.? The Mp4 file imports into CC2018 with no problems. Anyhow, the big plus with the XMediaRecode3430 converter is the batch "encode" from the "queue" you've created. It is FAST! I've kept my PP CC2017 when downloading and installing the PP CC2018 (just now, April 14, 2018). CC2017 remained unscathed. and CC2018 works. I imported MTS and the converted Mp4 files (with the new non-Dolby audio); got the usual CC2018 warning about the missing Dolby codec on the MTS files (and I didn't care), then put them both on the timeline, cropping the video to allow a side-by-side visual examination, along with representation on the Lumetri scope. There is no visible degradation to my eyes and the scope of the video side -- again, because the XMediaRecode3430 software allows the option to "copy" the video into the new file instead of converting it. XMediaRecode3430 is not a hand-holding IP (idiot proof) program. You have to pay attention and know what options you want. All I recalled from Deeeeeeeee's instructions were to copy the video. That's a pretty big deal for those that want to keep the integrity of raw MTS video. I've blabbered enough. This is a great solution to the Dolby dilemma and requires little effort. 305.
