AVCHD for Dummies

[srallk]

Hei. Har fått meg kamera til jul, ett Panasonic HDC-5. Sikkert bra, men jeg føler meg ikke komfertabel med AVCHD formatet for å si det mildt. Finnes det ett konverteringsprogram slik at jeg enkelt kan konvertere filene til et format som enkelt lar seg redigere, spille av på en vanlig DVD maskin osv.

 

Hadde satt umåtelig stor pris på om noen kunne hjelpe meg, og forklart det må en måte slik at en idiot som meg selv skjønner det:)

 

Er dere evig takknemlig.

The following video-editing software features support for the AVCHD format:

 

Apple's Final Cut Express 4, Final Cut 6.01, CyberLink's PowerDirector 6, Sony Vegas 7.0e, Vegas Pro 8, and Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8, Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, Corel's Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5, Pinnacle's Studio Plus 11, Avid Xpress Pro and Avid Media Composer, Canopus' EDIUS Pro 4.5.

Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced and Nero 8 Ultra Edition are a software suites which contains the AVCHD editor, found in Nero Vision. Also included in this suite is Nero Showtime, which plays AVCHD files natively. Edited video can also be burned to DVD discs in AVCHD format for playback on hardware players or in Blu-ray format.

iMovie '08 allows you to convert AVCHD to the Apple Intermediate Codec format, but does not support AVCHD directly.

Other developers have pledged their support but it may still take some time for the implementation.

The following software can convert the AVCHD format to other formats:

 

Canopus's AVCHD Converter can convert AVCHD clips into a format which can be edited using Canopus' EDIUS 3/4.

A related tool, Canopus' ProCoder, can perform conversions that produce files which are usable by other video editing applications that do not support AVCHD natively.

Cineform also offers the Neo HDV product that allows AVCHD clips to be converted into I-frame wavelet .avi files designed for editing and post-production. These .avi files can be accepted by many popular consumer non-linear video editors, including those from Sony, Adobe and Corel, which has acquired Ulead.

Another useful product is CoreAVC, a reasonably cheap and quick h.264 decoder for Windows, which can decode AVCHD as well as a variety of other h.264 formats.

Nero Vision can convert AVCHD files to other formats such as MPEG-2 or AVI and can import them for use in video editing projects. Nero Vision can also export Sony's M2TS format to MPEG-4 files that can be viewed by Quicktime 7.

PowerDVD Ultra comes with an AVCHD codec that can be used with AVISynth[5] and VirtualDubMod[6] as described here[7].

There is a transcoder to convert AVCHD into P2, which is a format you can import into Avid Xpress or AVID Media Composer. The transcoder was created by Main Concept and is distributed free of charge by Panasonic. You can download the file from here [8].

Latest version VAIO Editing Components that pre-loaded with Sony VAIO PCs can serve as a plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro 2 to support AVC-HD import/export and editing.

VoltaicHD is a simple yet useful tool to allow you to convert AVCHD files into other useful formats. The PC version allows output to WMV and AVI. A Mac version is also available.
