To run the noise removal, you need to first sample an area which consists of only the noise. Then you go in and gently nudge it until you get a decent balance of noise removal, before they turn into Martians. You cannot make a bad recording room sound like a studio, and like any processes you will get artifacts if you overdo it.

Hey Derek - is the anusoft video converter actually a bad app? i had no idea of a dubious reputation regards that particular developer. their video converter has crashed on me a few times in a 24hr period but otherwise it seems to work rather well (and no i'm not from anusoft - although i also realise the more i emphasize that the more likely it seems!
only i tried using albeit what i believe to be a slightly older version of streamclip, i didn't have initial luck transcoding my mts's to prores.
not critical, i'd just be interested to know what you know or have heard about it (staying legal on lafpug of course!)

MPEG Streamclip doesn't do MTS files. I think ClipWrap does (I don't use it, can't vouch for it). Voltaic does -- but at a snail's pace (90 minutes to encode a 90-second Canon AVCHD MTS clip -- that's a pathetic 60:1 time ratio). Plus, I've compared the same AVCHD clip imported using the E1 plugin vs. Voltaic, and the Voltaic-created clip appears to have a difference in colour hue.
I usually use FCP's Log and Transfer with the Canon E1 plugin, and that works at something like 1.5:1 to 1:1 speed. Most flavours of MTS media would have their own plugin to work with FCP.
To be a bit more fair to Voltaic, I was using it on a much lower-powered system than the Log and Transfer.
Just for their unethical advertising practices, I would never touch anything with "Aunsoft" on it. Yet another untrustworthy thing is that their spammers tend to be mainland Chinese with extremely poor English (can we say "hackerland" )? The technical knowledge on these companies' websites is also extremely iffy. I remember one company that said its transcoding software "gives your clips the film look". That's fishier than 10 sushi restaurants.

What Derek said. Also, I have noticed that google search results these days for encoders/converters bring up nothing but spam hits usually. Mkv, for example, doesn't need an encoder. You only need a muxer and there is a free utility for that. There are ffmpeg projects supporting avi encoding for years, which is open source. Vlc uses the ffmpeg library for decoding and encoding.
Mpeg streamclip can read certain mts files, but mts is only a wrapper. I did use it to transcode hdv mts files when the production crew messed up the file structure. Otherwise, clipwrap is usually the better buy.

i hear ya derek, but i have had success transcoding 303 clips to prores - albeit it did crash about 4 times during the process - but the result seems pretty good....
must remember to have my cam gain setting on zero though
