I want to make the downloaded *.m2t streams into editabe 1280*720avi file so I could test edit and take a look on the final result on my tv, so I can see the difference compred to DV! Help me I got some information here, but please help me to fill in the holes in the following guide:
(This solution is not intended to replace Aspect HD at all, it is just a way to find out how the HD will look on my TV in the end, so donīt get all angry with me you Cineform Inc guys, cause I do like you! And I will buy your product cause: This is way to hard to do... on all files that I should edit!! And I want all the REALTIME!!)

NLE Editing - How to make a perfect AVI to edit with
Okay, before any Mac guys get offended, I warn you that I am a total PC guy, and this explanation is geared that way. I`m sure that once the video is captured, there`s also a way to convert from the standard MPEG-2 .M2T transport stream files to QuickTime, probably with MM2D found at http://mm2d.sourceforge.net/. Anyway, on a PC to get a perfect lossless AVI from the MPEG stream, just use a tool to remux the file from its native MPEG-2 transport stream to a program stream, then decompress with the freeware VirtualDub program that has been modified to take MPEG-2 as a source (Available from http://es.geocities.com/dextstuff/#VirtualDub ). Note that the somewhat popular Flask program won't work because the widest video it can handle is 1008 pixels. Anyway, with the modified VirtualDub program, you can save using any AVI codec you want, including the perfectly lossless and freeware HuffYUV that uses just Huffman encoding. Premiere or whatever other NLE you want is then an option, with absolutely no artifacts other than what the camera`s MPEG-2 introduced back when it was recorded on tape. At the show I took very little interest in the editor that comes bundled with the camera, and focused on how I could get this high-quality stream over to an NLE that I'm familiar with. The JVC folks at the booth were kind enough to burn a CD for me with the standard .M2T files the camera dumps from its included capture tool. With those I played around and came up with the above procedure, which provides no loss of image quality.

Quastions:
1. How do I Remux a file from its native MPEG-2 transport stream to a program stream? -What software can I use?
2. I canīt find the modified version of virtual dub -the link works, but I canīt find it!! -Help!!
3. Help me -cause this is way to advance for me!!!
And again to CINEFORM ASPECT HD!!:
