Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .AVCHD file? Do you want to convert a .AVCHD file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

.AVCHD

The AVCHD file extension is for use with High Definition Video files. It is a popular format for video compression that is primarily used for videos recorded on consumer digital camcorders from the likes of Sony, Panasonic, and JVC. The AVCHD format is based on the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video encoding standard and supports 7.1 channel Dolby Digital audio compression so that digital video data can be stored in a more compact form while still retaining high-quality sound and picture. The layout of the AVCHD file structure is based on the systems of Blu Ray Discs and DVD discs making it especially useful for authoring video content onto optical discs.

Features

The advantage of these HD Video formats are their better picture quality and higher compression ratios than previous standards, allowing a greater amount of high definition video data to be stored on the same size media. AVCHD also offers considerably higher quality video playback than other compressed formats like .mpeg, .wmv, .mov, and more. Additionally, many playback devices like Blu Ray Players, media players, and set-top boxes are compatible with the AVCHD format as well as other HD video formats like .ts, .m2ts, and mkv.

Additionally, some software applications may support the AVCHD file format such as multimedia authoring tools like Sony Vegas Pro, Nero Platinum Suite or the open-source applications MediaCoder

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AVCHD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AVCHD extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AVCHD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AVCHD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AVCHD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AVCHD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AVCHD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AVCHD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AVCHD file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .AVCHD file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .AVCHD file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
