"Editing M2TS Blu-ray Files? Hi, I need to edit some M2TS files. I used to use DVDShrink to edit DVD files. Is there a program that has that functionality with Blu-ray? I use AnyDVD to drop the Blu-ray video onto my HDD, but I can't seem to find a M2TS editor that will allow me to edit the files. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!"
