AVCHD Player & AVCHD Codec

What is AVCHD? AVCHD is a format for recording and playback of high definition video which is also called Advanced Video Codec High Definition. AVCHD and its logo are trademarks of Panasonic corporation and Sony corporation.

AVCHD (AVC-HD, AVC HD) video is recorded using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec. Audio is stored in compressed form (Dolby AC-3). Uncompressed linear PCM audio is not supported in any consumer devices. Aside from recorded audio and video, AVCHD includes features to improve media presentation: menu navigation, slide shows and subtitles. The menu navigation system is similar to DVD-video, allowing access to individual videos from a common intro screen. Slide shows are prepared from a sequence of AVC still frames, and can be accompanied by a background audio track. Subtitles are used in some camcorders to timestamp the recordings.

AVCHD Codec - AVCHD files are used by some cameras from Sonya and Panasonic, but many digital players don't support it, so you have to download AVCHD codec if you want to play or edit AVCHD files.
