We're just too busy. If I had an app on my laptop (or even better on my camera) that plays the raw avchd files consecutively? I'm thinking that I could copy the files from the card to the laptop and put the best ones back onto the card. Would that work? Does the Playstation do that? ]]> AVCHD Format Discussion Dana Salsbury http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/468067-there-app-play-raw-avchd-consecutively.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/467940-alternative-acdsee-h-264-avchd-video-browsing-managing.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:24:17 GMT Today, I was cleaning up files on an old hard disk.

In it, I met again many softwares I used to be using during last decade. ACDSEE, PHOTOSHOP, ULTRA EDITOR and many others, some of them are still my favorite tools today.

Watch the Windows Vista I am using now, what a similar looking between the explorer and the old ACDSEE classic. The so called thumbnail-view layout, which I first saw in ACDSEE classic, is nowadays a most common user interface standard.

Thumbnail-view is not the only strong point that ACDSEE holds.
ACDSEE is still the best when the image browsing speed is measured. That's why I am still using ACDSEE as my picture browser, although the Windows now can do it natively(but slowly). This shows, there is always a chance to survive for an unique technology, like the image browsing speed of ACDSEE.

On the contrary, when we turn to the speed of video browsing, ACDSEE falls into the common category of DirectShow filter based applications. ACDSEE does not decode video itself, so its video browsing speed is limited by the DirectShow.

This gave an opportunity to the video manager I am using now, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB.

Based on special video technology from FameRing, Smart Mate for DV and DVB is 20~30 times faster than DirectShow based softwares when browsing and taking thumbs of movies.

I have a Hauppauge HD PVR DVB Box with a tuner installed on PC. I've recorded about several hundreds of H.264/AVCHD movies on my hard disk. They are .ts files, aka transport stream. Every now and then, I need to organize them, search them, bookmark them, share them with my friends. Just like what I did to my Jpeg photos. Further more, I want to edit the movies, like cutting commercials out of them, this leads to the most valuable part of Smart Mate for DV and DVB. It has the world's first H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 frame accurate cutter without re-encoding.

Smart Mate for DV and DVB not only supports frame accurate cutting on H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2, but also does it in a fastest way. It only re-encodes the gop on start point and end point, middle part of movie remains untouched. This gives the highest speed cutting while reserving highest video quality. So called, "Smart Cut".

If anyone else needs an easy but professional management solution for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 movies from Satellite video receiver, DVB HD PVR, DV Camcorder, or INTERNET, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is the software you must have. FameRing also has video manager for all popular formats, called MovieShop, I was only using the version customized for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2.

Come back to the ACDSEE, it will always be my image browsing tool, but not for the video browsing and managing.

To me, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is an alternative to ACDSEE on video files. That is why we like competition, which gives us more and more better softwares.

May be some time later, Windows will be able to browse H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 .ts movies natively(cuts frame accurately? I do not think so), like the thumb-nail view it learned from ACDSEE. But it will never be the only software left, because the unique technology always survives, as it is unique. The customers will always have alternative and better choices. ]]> AVCHD Format Discussion Allen Stoner http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/467940-alternative-acdsee-h-264-avchd-video-browsing-managing.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/467561-avchd-workflow.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:29:50 GMT I have the Canon HF s100 and will editing video on Premiere Pro using a 2.80 Core Duo computer and most of my video will be 2-3 minute stories for web viewing.

I have the Canon HF s100 and will editing video on Premiere Pro using a 2.80 Core Duo computer and most of my video will be 2-3 minute stories for web viewing.
My questions is on workflow.
1) Should I drag the .mts files over to an external hard drive and work off the external?
1) On my timeline should I edit AVCHD files that have been converted to .avi or .mov?
2) If I convert to .mov files should I also convert the the files to Apple ProRes files?

I gotta beef with the PIXELA software which completely overwhelms my 1 year old Dell M1530 XPS laptop that has a fast processor and 4 GB RAM. I got issues with proprietary software in general (hate apple products). A number of people have mentioned Adobe Premier Elements for video editing and I guess MS Movie Maker is out. My questions are these: if I buy the Adobe SW, can I delete Pixela? Can I d/l clips directly via window? And, will the Adobe SW stress my system less than the Pixela? Thanks for the info.

I do not personally own one of these but found out recently that an friend bought one. I hope this is the right place/forum to learn about this camcorder as he can't answer my questions.

It interests me to find out what types of formats this outputs recorded footage to in either SD or HD.

Am not familiar at all with .H264 or ACVHD formats as my background is generally with the Canon GL-2 thus far.

So, if I may ask:

1) When video footage is imported into a PC, what is the file extension of the file once it resides on a hard drive for "SD" video and HD video as it can do both? Is MPEG-2 one of the options? What's possible at either 720 or 1080?

2) What's the difference between .H264 and ACHVD or is it 2 words for the same technology?

Sorry for my ignorance however, Someone asked me to find out.

Any education offered on this would be great !!

Thanks in advance. ]]> AVCHD Format Discussion Bruce Pelley http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/466660-hdr-sr1-avc-hd-30gb-questions-help.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/avchd-format-discussion/466359-how-can-i-label-organize-mts-files-my-hdd.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:27:01 GMT Hey Everyone,

I'm shooting a promo video for a college right now (on a HMC150), and want to be able to organize my clips in folders for each department of the college, and if possible label the individual video clips within each departments folder as: "professor ___ interview" etc. I will need to do this because I'll be shooting material for 8 departments simultaneously and will often have many clips from different departments on a single card, as I shoot material for various departments each day without a chance to upload in between.

ie. after dragging the whole PRIVATE folder off the SD card and retaining the original AVCHD directory, is there any way i can then organize or label each individual clip? The ideal solution being i could add a "Biology department" folder in the Stream folder, then move all the .Mts files in there and add a description of the clip after the original file name. Is anything like this possible?

Would it solve my problem if i used cineform to transcode (something I will probably be doing anyway) and then labeled and organized the files as i like? And just keep the original PRIVATE folder to archive?

Please let me know of any solutions you can think of as clip organization and labeling are going to be essential to me on this long term project. Thanks!
