Does this software work with HD files like AVCHD to MP4 and back again?

I think so. I happen to have a Canon Rebel XTI as well as a Canon HD video camera. (AVCHD) I am going to be using it for just that purpose, If Amazon can keep this string live I will answer in the next few days. I am very impressed thus far with Stellar's product. Worth having in any event.

Not true. You can downconvert in camera and the new file is MPEG-4. The HD File is a MPEG4.H/246 file to begin with.

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.

Yes it does run latest codecs and container formats but I have seen my (completely stock) freeze and had to be power cycled after and oddly encoded avi which I never found out what The actual video format was. Anyways I use it daily to play videos from all over and it runs great. Works exceptionally well with a plex server and Vimu or just the plex app. Vimu is better for local content in my opinion while plex app is great for ice films and 1 channel like xbmc which I don't believe runs on this box yet.

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...

Thanks. That worked! I was able to import video from my hdr-hc3 using imovie 2009 with those tips.

Mike,Hello. The only decent editing software I found to work ok with the raw Vado HD files was Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. When I tried Premiere Pro CS4 I experienced the same thing as you. I would get audio, but no video. It seems you might have to convert your footage first.Oscar V.

Hi Dizzle D, this Sony Camcorder can record movies under mp4 and AVCHD file format. -Ely

I'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

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 does, but ill be honest; it's not all that great. It's very weird to work with software-wise, the importing program is bad, and it's video quality isn't all that great. I returned this and got a Hauppage HD-PVR, and still use it today. If you're looking for good HD game capture though, go for the Elgato HD.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

I do not know. I returned it after I found out it does not play MP4 files without time consuming conversion.

Or if you have a number of avi files that require conversion to the MP4 format .seek out the free and easy to use Handbrake app

I think it can if the files are renamed/formatted before playing. So I do not think it can read MP4 files as they are.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

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.
