Pop3 will only recognize .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, and .wmv. My Panasonic creates MTS files. I’ve gotten some free encoders and their output is .wmv. I  can’t find any converter, free or paid, that encodes to mpg or mpeg. I am  wondering what others are using.

Two more points; first, Panasonic does not offer a converter,and second, I can drop the file into another editing program and render it out.  It’s a good work around, but it’s baffling to me that I can’t find a proper  encoder.
