Part 1: What is an AVCHD Video?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Standing for Advanced Video Coding High Definition, the AVCHD video format, jointly developed by Panasonic and Sony Corporation, is one of the standards for consumer high-definition camcorders and video editing software. It is highly compressed and is recorded using H.264 video compression. This is a type of MPEG-4 format that replaced the older MPEG-2 format that was used originally for DVD and HDV. The file structure includes features to greatly improve media presentation such as better menu navigation, slideshow support, the ability to selectively choose audio tracks and subtitles, etc. <\/p>\n

<\/a>\n<\/div>\nNowadays, many advanced video editor software tools have added the support to edit AVCHD Windows. You could actually make use of the default media player of Windows to play AVCHD videos on your Windows computer. However, if you want to edit AVCHD videos on some Mac editors like iMovie, FCP, etc., you will be failed because of the format incompatibility. <\/p>\n
AVCHD uses the MPEG-4 AVC\/H.264 standard, supporting a variety of standard, high definition, and stereoscopic (3D) video resolutions. For audio compression, it supports both Dolby AC-3 (Dolby Digital) and uncompressed linear PCM audio. Stereo and multichannel surround (5.1) are both supported. That means if you want to play AVCHD files on your Mac computer, you need to make sure you player has all theses supported.<\/p>\n
