What is the AVCHD?

This is a format for recording and playing back highly detailed high definition images.

Images are recorded based on the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec for compressing images and audio is recorded with the Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator.

≥Since the recording method is different from an ordinary DVD video etc., the data is not compatible.
