However, be forewarned while that works well once it's installed, it's a real PITA getting there unless you're familiar with and know how to work with arcane technical details, poor documentation and missing links to critical files.
Also, the actual name of the program is wrong! Even with everything installed properly, typing exactly what the instructions tell you to, that is avchd2srt filename.mts doesn't work, because the actual name of the file (shown nowhere in any of the docs I saw) is avchd2srt-core.exe, so the magic words are avchd2srt-core filename.mts
A few basic steps, I guess not for everyone. It runs off a very basic cmd script. So with no input it tells you what to do as below:
E:\junk\Idiotsatwork>avchd2srt.cmd
Usage: avchd2srt.cmd videofilename [videofilenames]
NB: no paths, only files, wildcards allowed
E:\junk\Idiotsatwork>
So something as basic as this simple command creates srt file for every .mts file.
E:\junk\Idiotsatwork>avchd2srt.cmd *.mts
Processing file 00000.MTS:
.srt: creating basic subtitles
.log: information on video and processing
.srt: adding addresses via google maps
Processing file 00001.MTS:
.srt: creating basic subtitles
.log: information on video and processing
.srt: adding addresses via google maps
Processing file 00002.MTS:
.srt: creating basic subtitles
.log: information on video and processing
.srt: adding addresses via google maps
Processing file 00003.MTS:
.srt: creating basic subtitles
.log: information on video and processing
.srt: adding addresses via google maps
Processing file 00004.MTS:
.srt: creating basic subtitles
.log: information on video and processing
.srt: adding addresses via google maps
I simply then have a srt for every video file.

Edit: attaching the readme.html file that was part of the avchd2srt download as it provides the links to these missing files and fairly complete instructions and usage if any would be interested
