Ahh. Yet another pro-sumer codec for digital video. This one promises to fit HD content onto standard DVD disks(in the future it will be Blu-Ray mini-discs). AVCHD looks to be some derivative of .h264. Sony is going to be first to market with 2 AVCHD camcorders, the HDR-UX1 and HDR-SR1. The HDR-UX1 records AVCHD to DVD media, and the HDR-SR1 records to a HDD. They share the same low-power consumption 1/3" ClearVid CMOS sensors.
As no mainstream video-editing suites support this format at this time, what are we expected to do with footage at this point? Anyone have a quick work around for converting from AVCHD to something that FCP or Sorenson Squeeze can handle?
