Bob Motz Jet Truck 2009 of Night Under Fire Fame Norwalk Raceway

On May 16, 2009 at 9.47 pm, the Phantom of the Opera Overture played in the background in honor of the jet truck's J79 General Electric engine, used in the B-58 Bomber/F4 Phantom Fighter. The Kenworth jet semi truck was driven by the "King of Quake" Bob Motz. It was an amazing pyromaniacal moment - a veritable hot Saturday like Night Under Fire at Summit Motorsports Park's at the spectacular inaugural NHRA Lucas Oil Cavalcade of Stars weekend.

I did a Google search on convert AVCHD to AVI and wikipedia came up with a comprehensive list of video-editing software that supports your format. It also has a link to software comparison. It depends on your operating system, cpu specs, etc. so I couldn't tell you which you should try but apparently many have free trials and some are open source. I was thinking of converting first because then you could use any software that you already have. Just a thought.
