| Description | AVCHD is capable of recording HD videos in various modes such as 1080p, 720p, and 1080i on AVCHD, Blu-Ray, memory cards, hard discs, and other rewritable discs. It is a high-quality video codec that utilizes the compressed AVC video format, the M2TS or MTS file extension, and the AC3 audio codec. One of the main features of this codec is its ability to compress efficiently while maintaining high image quality. However, when it comes to playback, the codec can be quite resource-intensive, which is considered a drawback. |
| Technical details | The AVCHD format allows for video compression on small discs while preserving video quality and details. It includes features such as stereoscopic video and 1080 mode at 60 and 50 frames per second. AVCHD is also compatible with Blu-Ray, allowing for direct burning of videos to Blu-Ray discs and DVDs without the need for conversion to different formats. |
