Tips:

1. About AVCHD video.

AVCHD (AVC-HD, AVC HD) video is recorded using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec. Audio is stored in either compressed form (Dolby AC-3), or uncompressed form (multichannel PCM). Aside from recorded audio and video, AVCHD includes features to improve media presentation: menu navigation, slide shows and subtitles. The menu navigation system is similar to DVD-video, allowing access to individual videos from a common intro screen. Slide shows are prepared from a sequence of AVC still frames, and can be accompanied by a background audio track. Subtitles are used in some camcorders to timestamp the recordings.

2. What is difference between HD and AVCHD ?

The main difference between HD and AVCHD format is in the compression. HD video contains about four times the amount of picture data as standard definition video, while AVCHD uses the MPEG4 compression system to fit the information onto a standard DVD disk.
