AVCHD vs AVI

Editing the AVCHD movie natively is probably the best stratagem, though it may put a ton of lag on a non-core (e.g. Celeron) processer. If the rate owner is not a primary, 2.5 GHz for modifying AVCHD should probably, be your lowest.

Converting AVCHD to DV-AVI will restrict the top quality duplication to the abilities of both kinds. For example, AVCHD and DV-AVI use different development techniques. Transforming extremely compacted kinds to DV-AVI will usually include failures that are not recognizable enough to good care. If the slow characteristics of AVCHD pull intensely, a DV-AVI transformation will probably be your best bet.
