It is H.264 and Dolby AC-3 packaged into the MPEG  transport stream with a set of constraints designed around the camcorders. The  AVCHD video format was developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic in 2006  primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders. Therefore, the AVCHD  videos are usually extracted from camcorders. Although AVCHD videos can have a  pretty decent video quality, the compatibility of the AVCHD videos has always  been a big problem for camcorder users. Videos in the AVCHD format usually  cannot be directly played on mainstream video player programs, and they also  cannot be edited by most popular video editing tools. To successfully play or  edit the AVCHD videos, the best solution is to convert the AVCHD videos from  their original video format to MP4. If you don't know how to do the AVCHD to  MP4 conversion, take a look at today's guide and I'm sure it'll help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\" >\n<ul>\n<li> <a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with Leawo Video Converter<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with iWisoft Free Video Converter<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part3\">Part 3: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with Prism Video Converter<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part4\">Part 4: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with STOIK Video Converter<\/a> <\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"#part5\">Part 5: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with Quick Media Converter<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part1\">Part 1: Convert AVCHD to MP4 with Leawo Video Converter<\/h2>\n<p>Although there are more than on video  converter programs that can help you get the AVCHD video converted to MP4, if  you want to have a decent output result, you still need to carefully pick a  decent video converter program.
