With the HD videos shot by Panasonic HDC-TM700K, do you want to burn them to Blu-ray disc? The Panasonic HD Writer AE 2.1 is only compatible with Windows, and there are some free windows applications like ImgBurn, MultiAVCHD, StarBurn, BurnAware Free to burn videos to Blu-ray disc.
For Mac users, the BD burning process will be much more complicated. txMuxer is the only one free tool I find on Mac, but it only works on Leopard (no Snow Leopard). Another solution around is to use Apple Compressor, which is included in Final Cut Studio, and Adobe Encore CS3 or CS4, CS5. And you can burn 720/60p, 1080/60i or 1080/24p Blu-ray on Mac OS X. However, for the 1080/60p or 1080/50p 28Mbps MTS files shot by the Panasonic TM700 is not compatible with Mac application very well. Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac is the recommended Panasonic TM700 video converter for Mac users to convert TM700 60p or 50p HD videos to Adobe Compressor compatible .mov files on Mac OS X like ike Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
