Why is there no sound when I transfer AVCHD MTS files from my HXR-NX70U to my computer? Adobe Premier does not show an audio track & VLC media player or WMP cannot play audio only video.

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 am not having this issue. You might not have the codec downloaded to your machine. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed? Update QuickTime and try playing it with the QuickTime player.

AVCD files are multi-files (image/sound/indexing), so you have to import all of them together to your editing software. They work great, but must be together to play. This happens naturally when you use the "content management utility" soft provided with the NX70 camera to download your clips from the camera to the computer. Here is some more information about AVCHD files: http://www.winxdvd.com/resource/avchd-video.htm It´s quite simple, but looks a bit weird when you start with them. Have fun.

Your music player probably only recognizes audio-only formats like MP3. So you can't just copy video files over and have it read them. But you can extract the audio portion and save it on the sd card, and then your player should be able to handle it. There are a bunch of ways to do this - probably the simplest is to use a third-party app like Video Converter for Mac. But you can do it directly with something like iMovie - import the video, then export only the sound portion to another file.

I've played unencrypted MP4 files with no issue. However, I do not have any DivX files so couldn't answer related to that file format.

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

I use MX Player to play mkv, mp4, and avi movies . . . all with same name srt subtitles. You must download and install the dts audio decoder. Just do a Google search for MXplayer dts to get download link. I couldn't get VLC player to work . . . Acer not compatible, somehow. MXplayer works. Just love that MXplayer allows you to drag your finger on different areas of the screen to change volume, brightness, skip forward, skip backwards. Makes for an absolutely AWESOME 'demo'. VLC player cannot do that on my PC. MX player can also play music mp3 but this discussion is about movies. Hope this is helpful.

m2ts is the file extension, but the format is called AVCHD, and there are plenty of programs out there that handle AVCHD. My favorite is Sony Vegas. There is a pro version that costs about $400, but there is an excellent home version that is virtually indistinguishable from the pro version, and it costs about $80.

I found some information today in the AVS forum on this topic and posted it here... Hi Guys, I just tried the following and it worked very fast: Nero Vision 5 (Part of Nero 8) Make DVD &gt; AVCHD Add Video Files Next Menus to use: Do not create menus Next Next - Audio Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % - Video Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % Write to Hard Disk folder This creates the same structure as the camera in a BDMV folder. Replace the BDMV folder on the SD card with this one and the camera plays it. To follow up on this, if you add clips back to the card/camera using the foregoing method, the clips DO show up in the thumbnails and you CAN take new video and the new video will just be added as separate clips/thumbnails. It works GREAT! Although the above instructions are for Nero and I've only tried it in Nero, I would imagine it *should* work with any video editor that allows you to create an AVCHD DVD without menus by saving the output file to the pc rather than to a disk and then just moving the resulting BDMV folder to the card/camera.

I'm in the same boat with John. I have downloaded and installed Perian (recommended by Creative) and still no sound. I get great results moving to my PC, but iMovie and iDVD are only on my Mac. Anyone solved this?

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

Yes, but with difficulty. The packaged software is worthless. Open VLC and go to &gt; Media &gt; Open Capture Device. Set Video device name: /dev/video1. Set Audio device name: hw:0,1. Set Video standard: NTSC. That should allow you to view the input stream. You may be able to capture/record the input with VLC, but I don't think you will be able to record and view (preview) it live. To capture/record the input, I use the following commands: sox -r 44k -t alsa hw:1,0 -c 1 -C 320 tmp.mp3 &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&1 & PID1="$?" avconv -f v4l2 -i /dev/video1 -deinterlace -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 -f matroska -y tmp.mkv & PID2="$?" read i; kill "$PID1" & kill "$PID2" & Lastly, I combine the audio and video together into final product: avconv -i tmp.mkv -i tmp.mp3 -c copy output.mkv

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.

JVC MOD files open perfectly in Nero Vision. Renaming them to MPG for me caused them not to play correctly in WMP (and no sound), and they would not open in Quicktime Pro. Bad choice by JVC.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

I'm sorry I didn't see this email sooner... All of the HD files are in ".MTS" format and are found in the file folder named "AVCHD" when transferring...

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.
