No, it did not change the extensions of the files.

To all intents & purposes that's what it did do.

(When I changed *.CHK to *.MTS, they played back normally on the Linux
version of VLC.)

Once I had converted the 126 .MTS files to .MOV (using the script below),
Windows7 then
happily showed the folder and contents and played the .MOV files normally
with no more ado.

for i in FILE0*MTS;
do output=${i/%.*/.MOV};
echo $output;
ffmpeg -i $i -deinterlace $output;
done
