Transcode Panasonic Lumix G3 AVCHD MTS/M2TS to FCP 7 at 15% off

The Lumix G3 is the latest model in Panasonic's compact, DSLR-like Micro Four Thirds range. It offers a 1080i movie mode, with a 50 fields per second capture and output at 25 frames per second (The US version is 1080i60 output at 30fps to correlate to the 60Hz NTSC standard).
