MTS to Sony Vegas Pro: Import AVCHD MTS/M2TS to Sony Vegas Pro 12

Summary: Can't import AVCHD MTS files to Sony Vegas Pro 12? The easy workaround is to transcode AVCHD to Sony Vegas best editing MPEG-2 format. Here is how.

Hi, I'm new on the boards. I'd like to know the best way to transcode MTS files to ProRes to edit in Sony Vegas Pro 12? I've always used ClipWrap to convert them for Premiere, but for some reason, Vegas doesn't seem to play nice with this software unless I convert in ClipWrap first, then re-convert using MPEG Streamclip. Any way I can cut down the steps and only do it once (something other than natively editing the MTS file)?

***************************************
