AVCHD vs HDV - võrdlus
wanting to NOT edit and merely copy AVCHD/MTS files from the camcorder source hard
drive to a blank (soon to be) data DVD... OR if the video segments are too long to fit on a
single layer (4.7 gig) or double layer (8.5 gig blank. BluRay blanks star at 25 gig. High
definition video is about 4x more than standard definition video.
While we're at it, the software included in the box with any camcorder is useless and should
not be installed... it is unnecessary. Windows MovieMaker cannot deal with AVCHD; only
under certain conditions can deal with HDV... Apple iMovie '08 or newer is required to deal
with AVCHD running on an Intel Mac. In the Windows/Vista environment, Sony Vegas and
Adobe Premiere float to the top - with Macintosh, iMovie '08 or newer or the current versions
of FinalCut make the grade for AVCHD - iMovie and Final Cut have been dealing with HDV
for years.
Due to lowest $/gig, long archive shelf life, and MANY other reasons, I suggest you skip hard
