Re: PCM audio track not playing on computer
 

Not to belabor this, but the current version of Audacity (2.1.2) opened the .mts audio just fine....exported as 16 bit wav with no problem....maybe you have an older Audacity?

Re: PCM audio track not playing on computer
 

FWIW Andrew, I use an HF G30, essentially the same as the XA20 and I use a Linux distribution as my OS, so the codecs and containers mentioned may not be any use to you. Kdenlive certainly won't, but here is a note I posted to myself on the same subject after a good bit of chasing my own tail: AVCHD LPCM MUST be transcoded to Lossless Matroska or modified DNxHD with flac audio to get sound. DNxHD mod. only playable in Kdenlive.

I prefer to record to MP4, so I wrote the note in case at some point I record to AVCHD with LPCM and wonder where the audio went!

Good point. I just checked and I'm using 2.0.6, so I'll update asap. If Audacity can export the audio track on my system, then I should be good to go.
