Sometimes I'd like to go back and clean up archives of AVCHD files, like when there's a ton of useless footage in between the stuff I'd like to keep. Normally, I put the files back on a media card, put that into the camera, then delete the unwanted footage inside the camera and back up again.
It's slow, I know, but I'm not sure if I can just delete the mts files on my hard disk, because I don't understand the directory structure. I'm worried that there are thumbnail images or whatever else I don't know about which will make it impossible to use the data later on.
So long story, can I just delete mts files on backup disks or should I better go through the long process?
By the same token, could I move mts files around between disk copies so that stuff would be organized better (observing the limit of the media card, of course).
Thanks,
Stefan
