Transfer Sony camera recordings to iPad 3 on Mac

“I am using a Sony HXR-NX5E AVCHD Camcorder and it records videos in MTS format. I wanna transfer some of those Sony MTS movie files to my iPad 3, so that my children can watch them. The thing is that the iPad 3 can not recognize AVCHD based videos natively. I realized that I need to convert them to a format compatible with iPad 3 in the first place. I’ve tried a free converter app on my iMac, but it only converted about 30 seconds of each MTS movie with very poor quality, no matter how many times I tried it. Why did it do this? Please help. I don’t mind paying for a workable converter program.”
