Reply To: Video Organizing: AVCHD Format

[Adam Pratt]

AVCHD is an MP4 video stream combined with Dolby AC3 audio, all bundled up in a special package format. You should be able to access the discrete clips by right-clicking the AVCHD file on your Mac and choose Show Package Contents. You might need to do that a few times until you get to the individual clips. They’ll look something like this screenshot, and then you can batch transcode them to another format if you want.
