AVHCD Video Information Or Index Format | Sony | Video Files |
The BDM (AVHCD Information File) file extension is a data container file that stores the sources of information for AVCHD camcorders. This file type is created and utilized by Sony and Panasonic brands of video recorders. AVHCD stands for Advanced Video Coding High Definition, which is a video format created by a consortium of the two companies.
The file format utilizes the .bdmv extension, as it is based on the Blu-ray Disc Format standard. It uses MPEG-2 Part 2 and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression technologies to provide high quality digital video recordings while taking up limited hard drive space. This makes the BDM (AVHCD Information File) extension a popular choice for creating disc images, as it saves time in inducing, capturing, and editing video footage.
Similar Extensions
BDF (BDMV Disc Layout Information), BDN (AVCHD Network File Index), BDAV (Blu-ray Disc Audio/Video), and CLI (Blu-ray Java Command Line Interface) are all related file extensions that are related to the BDM (AVHCD Information) format.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BDM) 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 .BDM 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 .BDM 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 .BDM 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 .BDM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BDM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BDM 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 .BDM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BDM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BDM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
