Adapt camera and disc workflows to a workflow built for technical delivery
Supply H.264 when an editor, player, or delivery form will not accept AVCHD
Create a H.264 copy from AVCHD for encoders and systems requesting an AVC stream

Encoding speed depends on the processor available to this tab during this AVCHD-to-H.264 job.
Available memory can limit very large AVCHD conversion jobs.
Confirm the H.264 output meets the receiving system’s technical limits.

H.264 serves encoders and systems requesting an AVC stream, whereas AVCHD commonly serves camcorder archives and Blu-ray-oriented editors.
For AVCHD-to-H.264 delivery, plan for elementary output often lacking audio.
After leaving AVCHD, the receiving app must support the streams encoded inside H.264, not only its extension.

AVCHD to H.264 taking too long? Check available memory; long, high-resolution sources need substantially more.
H.264 converted from AVCHD not opening? Test a compatible player and inspect the output streams.
Use the receiving app’s documented H.264 profile when generic playback succeeds but import fails.

When does AVCHD to H.264 conversion make sense?

It is useful when AVCHD media created for camera and disc workflows must enter a H.264 system designed for technical delivery.

Where is the AVCHD source processed?

The browser prepares H.264 from AVCHD on this device instead of sending the source to a remote conversion server.

How can I approve H.264 converted from AVCHD?

Test the H.264 file in the receiving app and compare duration, picture, sound and timing with the AVCHD source.
