Is it compatible with Canon's AVCHD format?

The trial has been working great with the .m2ts files from my HF10. Give it a try, but it seems to work great.

Of course. It is compatible with any device that has a standard RCA output. However, you may want to save your money. I find the footage a little shoddy.

Not sure. I was a Canon user. IMHO one of the biggest reasons to buy this format is the smaller lens sizes. Equal quality, less size, less cost. Win win.

The provided software CD-ROM is only for PC and not Mac. You don't need any software because the camera is compatible with iMovie 11 but you can only record in iFrame format and not in AVCHD. If you need to record in AVCHD, you can always purchase Adobe Premier Elements. Works great! Here is my review I just posted. Hope this helps.

On page 146 of my copy of the Image Mixer 3 SE Software Guide I found some information about writing back to the camcorder.It has to be AVCHD standard only and I guess you need to use Canon Image Mixer 3 SE to do the editing. There are other limitations in the guide.I have not tried this yet. I write my edited movies to AVCHD on DVD-R and play on PS3, Blu-Ray Player or computer.One thing I like is the on-camera "Playlist". Even without a computer you can select specific clips and then play them in sequence.Of course you can't trim an individual clip but you can tailor the presentation of clips to a specific audience and then change it again and again....No tape ! I love this Non-linear stuff !

This is an international model, so it allows you to choose either NTSC or PAL for the video recording and output in the menu settings. In AVCHD format the options are: 1080/50i recording with output option of 50p or 25p; 1080/24p recording/output; 720/50p recording/output.

Sorry, I can't really say. I use a JVC digital 80gb (about 5 years old) and it works well with it but I don't the format extension used by a Canon.

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

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.

No, it doesn't. The Vado uses h.264 for video encoding, and AAC for audio encoding, both of which are supported by OS X, QuickTime, and iMovie.

Hi Dakota, if your camera uses AVCHD (typically stored on an SD card), then the answer is yes. The MT2S file type is primarily associated with 'AVCHD'. AVCHD is a high-definition digital video format that supports 1080i and 720p with a reasonably small file size. AVCHD files are based on the MPEG4 CODEC. AVCHD video files can be burned to Blu-ray discs and played in compatible devices, such as Blu-ray disc players and the Sony PlayStation3. Various video programs can edit or convert this file format which is generally used by Sony and some Panasonic video cameras. I have found that Pinnacle 16 can import almost all video formats currently around. Hope this helps.

It is compatible! there is a firmware update that needs to take place. Call or email their customer service line. They are extremely helpful. They're very friendly and I'm confidente they'll resolve your issue. http://support.eye.fi/cameras/canon/eos-1d_mark_ii

I don't know for sure, but I think not. Recommend you visit the Canon website and seek help from support. If your camera manual does not reference an accessory device, then most likely it is not compatible. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes it is compatible. It is an SDHC card and that camera accepts SDHC cards.

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

Yes, it is certainly possible. All you need is a video editor that works with the AVCHD format that your camcorder outputs. Here's a couple examples: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack or Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, but they only run under Windows. If you read through the comments made by purchasers of those (or other) editors, you'll learn that AVCHD can be challenging to edit, because the files are so big and the compression is so advanced. In other words, it really helps to have a reasonably powerful computer or else things will be slow.
