How to convert AVCHD to Windows Movie Maker avi/wmv/mpg(HD) video for Windows XP,Vista and 7?
Recently you are confused with your new high definition Canon HF100 camcorder that saves natively to AVCHD. You really love the camcorder but are wondering if you still be able to edit it with the built-in Windows Movie Maker.
Actual AVCHD (.mts/m2ts/ts) is a format popularized by hard disk camcorders from Sony, Panasonic, and Canon, uses h.264 video coupled with AAC audio for recording movies. Neither of these two codecs is directly supported by Windows Movie Maker on Windows OS.
What you should do first is try to determine what software, if any, comes supplied with the Camcorder, and whether said software as import facilities that allow the video to be imported into Windows Movie Maker for editing. AVCHD conversion in Window movie maker can be one of the option.
If it doesn't work fine for some reason, more than likely you'll need to install AVCHD to Windows Movie Maker converter. This equips with a powerful decoder for the native AVCHD files off the camcorder and successes in allowing you to convert AVCHD files to an editable format like HD AVI (best format I strongly recommend you convert your AVCHD videos to), HD MPEG-2 or HD WMV that works well with any version of Movie Maker.
Windows Movie maker supports .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, .wmv, of the options I list, HD AVI and HD MPEG-2 are the two I use regularly as output formats of AVCHD video converter and prefer over other options, for WMV format sometimes have no sound in Windows Movie Maker.
