Again, it’s a piece of good news for those camcorder lovers – next
month Sony will release its HDRAX2000 pro-sumer camcorder which can
capture Full HD video using AVCHD technology. It's one of the first
professional video cameras that records using the AVCHD format. As a
Sony camera lover and user, I’d like to share my idea and experience
about how to enjoy AVCHD camcorder video on Windows Media Player or
Internet.
Part 1: Understanding the AVCHD Camcorder Format
AVHD stands for Advanced Video Codec High Definition. It is a format
for the recording and playback of high definition video. AVCHD is a
form of video compression that allows the large data files created by
HD video recording to be captured and saved on digital media such as
hard disk drives and flash memory cards. This format is jointly
developed by Panasonic and Sony for use in consumer camcorders.
The AVCHD file extension may be .M2TS, .M2T, .MTS, .TS, .TR, .TP, .TRP, .TOD, .MOD, etc.
Here below is the detailed specification of AVCHD format:
