Fxclub-AVCHD video converter

I am recording on a Panasonic HMC-150 (typically in 1080p30 and 1080p24)) and do my editing in FCE. However I need a program to convert the recorded files into something FCE can recognize.  I do online tutorials and distribute to roughly a couple dozen different sites through BlipTV and TubeMogul. So far I’ve been limited to recording in 720p30 because it’s the best format that I can work with through iMovie (I use imovie to import the raw video, export as a quicktime and then import into FCE for final editing then do a final QT conversion to mpeg-4 for upload; and to be honest not real excited on the quality I’m getting as a finished video. So I need a program which can let me convert Panasonic HMC-150 1080p MTS to high quality FCE suitable format for editing. After editing, I need distribute to different sites through BlipTV and TubeMogul.

I have been filing away .mts files from my HD Sony CX700V camcorder since last month… I am now trying to get these into a viewable format so that I can stream them in the highest possible resolution to TVs using SageTV media extenders (can stream just about anything). I would just like to stitch together related .mts files for SageTV. I’m not concerned with being able to burn to any sort of removable format at this time.
Here’s what I am running into. I have been able to find a way to do this with both Roxio 10 (VideoWave) and FCP. Both seem to provide the functional result that I am looking for. However, the video quality is not nearly as rich as when I play the native .mts files individually. Am I doing something wrong with my settings or is this to be expected due to the rendering and compression? Is there a way to create a single file comprised of multiple .mts files without loss in quality?
