Client wants raw footage

Hello,

A client of mine after filming a wedding wants all the raw footage. I put all my AVCHD files on a thumb drive but they won't play on their computer as they are in .mts files and are also unlabeled. I then went to export the raw footage from premiere as a different codec but the file size was so large it didn't fit on the thumbdrive.

Is there a way to label the individual clips and export to a format that's the same file size as my .mts AVCHD files?

Thanks,

Bryce

Bring all the media into Adobe Media Encoder using the Media Browser window in the upper left of the GUI.  Once imported, select all the clips and choose H.264 as the Format and Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate as the Preset.

is that codec/format equal to .mts? Reason I'm asking is that in the future I'd like to use prelude to transcode my footage to label the footage etc and only use what I want to use but so far the options given to me in windows are file sizes ten times larger.

I would of thought it should of played but the client told me it's giving him a codec missing error.
