families get a HD camera, like Sony, Panasonic,
Canon, JVC, Nicon, etc. Shooting HD videos during
journey with these HD cameras has been a major
way to record happy moments. However, AVCHD
videos, recorded with these HD cameras, are not
widely accepted by either computers players or
portable media players. No native players and
editors of Mac and Windows computers recognize
AVCHD files. Burning AVCHD to DVD requires
additional 3rd-party AVCHD to DVD converter apps.

Basic Knowledge about AVCHD Short for Advanced
Video Coding High Definition, AVCHD is a
file-based format for the digital recording and
playback of high-definition video. Designed by
Sony and Panasonic, AVCHD is now adopted by many
manufacturers, including Canon, Hitachi, JVC,
Leica Camera, Panasonic and Sony.
AVCHD video format is commonly used for Video
stream (always H.264), 14401080 interlaced,
19201080 interlaced, 19201080 progressive, NTSC
and PAL variations of the above and Dolby Digital
stereo or 5.1 surround sound. You could get an
overview of the supported video resolutions and
audio formats on the AVCHD Co-producers web site.
AVCHD files are stored with a .MTS or .m2ts file
extension, depending on the camera brand and
whether you are copying to a Mac or PC. There is
no difference in the contents of the video files
with the different extensions.

A new AVCHD variant called "AVCHD Lite" was
designed and released to support a maximum
resolution of 1280720 progressive and uses a
less intensive video compression algorithm than
full strength AVCHD. The simplified compression
makes AVCHD Lite easier to implement on lower-end
hardware. Panasonic have been the first company
to implement this spec, adding AVCHD Lite video
recording to their high-end point and shoot
digital cameras.

Use AVCHD Files on Mac and PC There are quite
few native software programs on both Mac and
Windows computers that natively accept AVCHD
files. That means to play, edit, convert and/or
burn AVCHD files, you may need to make use of
3rd-party AVCHD software. Play AVCHD videos on
Mac and PC
QuickTime Player in Mountain Lion allows you to
play back video from AVCHD media. Once youve
transferred your AVCHD media to your Mac, it will
appear as a folder on your drive. Open the folder
and double-click the file named AVCHD, BDMV, or
PRIVATE. If your AVCHD media has a single video
clip, then QuickTime Player will simply open the
clip in a player window. If your AVCHD media has
multiple clips, youll see them grouped together.
Simply select the clip you want to play back,
then click Open to open it in a QuickTime player
window. However, it should be noted that previous
OS X versions before Mountain Lion dont support
direct AVCHD video playback on QuickTime player.
It is possible to play AVCHD video with Windows
Media Player on Windows 7 and later Windows OS
versions. However, since based on Dshow
(DirectShow) Multimedia Framework, WMPs support
to play AVCHD yet needs additional codecs
installed (download the codec). After
installation, the additional codec ties MTS/M2TS
files (AVCHD files) into Windows Media Player,
and thus allows it to be compatible with this
file type. But it should be noted that the
Windows XP and Vista are not able to play back
AVCHD files in their Windows Media Player. A
suggested solution to play AVCHD files on Mac and
Windows computer is to adopt 3rd-party free AVCHD
player software. The free media player software
from Leawo Leawo Blu-ray Player is recommended.
Its totally free, and compatible with AVCHD
files completely, available in both Mac and
Windows versions.

Edit AVCHD videos on Mac and PC
For new HD users, movie editors that were preset
in computer are recommended as the beginning. If
its needed, you could then move to a more
advanced video editor suite. The in-built
applications on the Mac and PC are very good (in
our opinion) and may be all you need. Mac users
have 3 options iMovie (which comes with every
new Mac), Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Note that Premiere Pro does support Native AVCHD
but is pitched more at the professional user (who
wont be using AVCHD). You could start with
iMovie, then move up to Final Cut Pro if and when
you need to.
Windows users get more options for AVCHD video
editing. While not widely publicized by
Microsoft, all Windows machines come with
Microsoft Movie Maker built in. Movie Maker is
HD-capable, but does not support AVCHD. However,
you could make use of Video Converter to convert
AVCHD into WMV. Video Converter also comes with
HD profiles for Movie Maker which allows you to
edit HD AVCHD files in Movie Maker easily. For
Windows users, 3rd-party video editors would be
also helpful, and not hard to search. Video
Editor from Leawo acceptes native AVCHD file
editing.

Convert AVCHD videos on Mac and PC
Since AVCHD format is not natively accepted by
Mac and Windows computer, converting AVCHD files
is a good choice to play back and edit AVCHD
files on Mac and PC. Depending on computer
system, you could choose to convert AVCHD to
MOV/M4V/MP4 on Mac and WMV/MP4 on PC for further
editing or other purposes. The Apple editing
suites all contain an AVCHD to AIC converter for
the capture of video direct from an AVCHD camera,
so as to let you edit AVCHD files in them.
However, these would loose your original AVCHD
files. You need to get a backup of your AVCHD
files beforehand.
No matter you use Mac or PC, there are quite a
few wonderful 3rd-party video converting apps
that help you convert AVCHD files to MOV, MP4,
WMV, M4V, and other video formats. Total Media
Converter Ultimate is such kind of media
converter. With it, you could convert AVCHD files
for Mac or PC for editing, playback (on computer
and portable devices as well), burning, etc.
