- 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.
- The WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) file format is used by Microsoft's Windows Media Center to store TV recordings. Introduced with Windows 7 as a successor to the earlier DVR-MS format used by Windows XP Media Center Edition, WTV files allow users to record live television broadcasts or schedule recordings directly through their computers equipped with a compatible TV tuner card. These files encapsulate both the video and audio streams, along with metadata such as broadcast information and closed captions.
