The 1920x1080 60p recording mode is the selling point for Panasonic HDC-TM700K AVCHD camcorder. However, the .mts fils with 1080/60p at 28Mbps from the TM700 are not AVCHD standard compliant. The bit rate for AVCHD standard profile is 17Mbps, and 24Mbps for AVCHD high profile. Even though some comment saying it is possible to edit 1080i HD videos shot with the TM700, Avid Media Composer or even Avid MC 5 does not support importing 1080/60p or 1080/50p videos from TM700.
