- Description
- AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file format designed for recording and playing back high definition video. It is commonly used in digital camcorders and cameras for capturing HD footage. AVCHD leverages the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec, which efficiently reduces file sizes while preserving high-quality video resolution, and supports both Dolby AC-3 and linear PCM audio codecs for high-quality sound.
- An MP4 file is a multimedia file commonly used to store a movie or video clip, but may also contain subtitles or images. MP4 is short for MPEG-4 Part 14, which is a container format based on the QuickTime File Format (QTFF) used by .MOV and .QT files.
