I have rerun the command and now I'm getting a WARNING: library
configuration mismatch. I thinks it's because the Software Center forced me
to remove a package...


*Subtitles? Interesting, what do they contain? :)*

Actually there are no subtitles. This is weird...

To me this AVCHD format is uncomfortable. How am I supposed to separate the
files? I want to have everything in a single file. Anyway, I have decided
to convert the MTS files to mp4 and keep the AVCHD structure as a backup. I
see no quality loss with the generated mp4.
