GPS information from AVCHD clips Does anyone know how (or what is needed) to display the GPS information embedded in videos filmed in the AVCHD-GPS mode? Or is it just for playback on camera?

The data is in the mts file apparently in each frame and I think in a header (I'm just beginning to get up to speed on this for a current project), this program: http://www.dvmp.co.uk/ shows the geo data (if you go into settings and turn it on to do so). Also a program called EXIFTool can show the starting gps position and I believe with some extra passed commands to it write out a tracklog of sorts for the mts video.

Thanks. I totally forgot about this thread. I just assumed that the data was embedded but didn't know how to go about accessing it.

The GPS feature cannot be turned off, but you can use other media players like QuickTime and VLC to playback the driving video without showing the location data. The recorded video file format is standard MP4.

Hi Ricky. Thanks for your inquiry! The Komando Dual Lens Dash Cam sold through Amazon does not include the GPS accessory which monitors your exact GPS coordinates as well as your speed. This unit includes a sturdy windshield mounting bracket, car charger (12V car adapter), USB cable, AV connector cable , 32GB micro memory card and full size Micro SD adapter.

Most computers have a difficult time processing AVCHD. This mode is meant for direct play back on your HDTV. But you can you can use a video editor like Freemake and it will convert the files for viewing on your computer and other sites like You Tube. I have a Panasonic FZ-150 and I have to record in FSH at 24fps instead of PSH at 50fps otherwise it produces glitches in playback mode.

I do not know. I have only a PC laptop. Sorry I am not able to help. I know you can install VLC Player on your Mac and run the video on it. But , I do not know if the GPS data shows up on VLC player.

I don't know why this is so I don't use AVCHD for any thing that I want to pass thru my computer. Perhaps Sony could furnish an answer but they might want you to buy some software. Good luck in your search

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

This has nothing to do with navigation. Navigation will work without this. This bypass allows you to play a video while the car is in motion.

No built in navigator. The GPS is for playback only. So you can plot the route and speed you had traveled. All post recording. The only information you can get on the devices is longitude and latitude points in the menu settings.

I purchased this device today at a local electronics store - the GPS data can now be used by BaseCamp.The GPS data can be exported into GPX files which is then useable by basecamp and other GPX compatible readers. 1) Download Garmin Dash Cam Player from Garmin2) Select one or more videos3) Right click and select Export GPX file4) Select the GPX file5) Open with BaseCamp

anyone care to elaborate on the codec differences in gritty detail? H.264 and AVCHD Lite are both relatively knew. It would appear the Lumix can capture comparable PQ at a lower bit rate (-3 to 4mbps) but anyone have any real world results of what this translates to in terms of file size difference on a given clip?

Hi Joe,I had a previous Sony camcorder with AVCHD compatibility and I was able to convert the file to a MOV. file with no problem. I don't recall off-hand how I did that, though. With the Canon, I wasn't able to see any footage in AVCHD if I plugged in the SD card. Other users might have had better luck than me. There might be a way to convert the footage so it works in iMovie. I'm sure there are apps on the Internet that might work. I hope this helps. Thanks.

So the camcorder does come with basic editing software to edit AVCHD files? Does it allow all types of transitions? Any cool features that stand out?Thanks...

Looking at the specifications, it appears that it does not have a camera mode. To be absolutely sure I would recommend you call Garmin and ask a technican there.

I don't recall, as I already have it installed, and yes it will show location/altitude/etc. in the metadata. It's a free download from here:http://nikonimglib.com/nvnx/

Sorry for late answer. We use our cameras specificly for taking pictures and have never used the GPS feature. Sorry could not be more help.
