Have lots of .TS files and wanna edit the TS file in Final Cut Pro. Whereas, Final Cut Pro lacks support for .ts format. So, how can I edit TS in Final Cut Pro keeping the best quality? Tried a third-party tool MPEG Streamclip, but the application either froze or told me that it couldn't find the first frame of the .ts file. What I need is a converter app that fully supports TS video files.

Scanning the web and finally found Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, a professional TS video converter under Mac OS X.
