Recover AVCHD files from HDR-CX7?

Question

I have a Sony HDR-CX7, and seems if you look at it wrong the memory card gets corrupted. Got an error message while recording; that may have been when it happened... anyway, this is the second time it’s happened, and I do not want to touch it this time until I know the best way to handle it. Last time all I could recover was some of the JPG files, and lost all our HD video files, this was also after I used Vistas "Scan and Fix" option, and had to scan the CHK files for anything left. I made sure to avoid that option this time around.

It was full of videos and images of my brother’s wedding yesterday, and if I cannot get anything back I may just trash this hunk of junk.

What is my best chance to recover both the AVCHD files as well as the JPG files? This camera uses an 8GB Sony Pro Duo memory stick that I'm trying to recover the files from, by the way.

AVCHD Video Converter-a must-have program for Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Hitachi camcorder users to convert the video types: MTS and M2TS movie files. You can get the new video from AVCHD(.mts, .m2ts) to AVI, WMV, MPEG, ASF, VOB, 3GP, RM, RMVB, MKV, FLV, SWF, MOV, MP4, M4V, DV, and extract the audio track from AVCHD to MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A, AIFF files.
