Hi
my dad has an old avchd sony camcorder ( i'm guessing at least 4 yrs old) - basically until a few months ago he had no means of getting it on a pc until he acquired a copy of pinnacle studio 14).
I am a mac user who uses fcp so the pc world esp video part is pretty alien to me and have only had experience of avchd in the last few months.
Anyway to get to the point . . . I was at his a few months ago and went through the basics of the programme picking it up as i go along. Using PMB (sony) to import the footage and no problem getting the footage to export to burn to dvd. PMB has the option to burn a avchd disc but the file that I exported from pinnacle studio in a format that was as close to the original as I could make it was not seen as an option by PMB.
So the main question I am asking is there an option for exporting from Pinnacle studio 14 which PMB could burn a AVCHD disc - if so what is it.
If not is there a simple cheap programme that could do this
My dad lives in another city so i only get up there every few months and is not overly au fait with videos, so it will be the case of looking at it in person as opposed to explaining over the phone or by email. I'm up there this weekend so I was hoping some of you guys could provide a few pointers
thanks in advance
