How to import Canon Vixia HF S200 AVCHD video to Windows Movie Maker?

FAQ:
"For Christmas I got a Canon Vixia HF S200. I have been getting a lot of video and now I want to edit them in Windows Movie Maker. Now, for some reason… It seems that I can’t edit the video in MTS mode. Why is that? Is there ANY easy or free way that I can convert the mts files to avi? So any help would be great! Thanks."

Explain:
Canon Vixia HF S200 has the Exclusive 1/2.6″ 8.59MP HD CMOS Image Sensor that captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution and photos with astonishing detail.
