pachapapa Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Been puzzling for a couple of days how to transcode this format without paying for expenxive software. The codec is used with a lot of Mini Camescopes using SD or SDHC memory cards.Solution look for a Software that will download videos from the net, sites like youtube; such software will recognise AVCH and I presume AVCHD formats; then transcoding to MPEG4, DivX, XviD, etc is simple.

Pierre ZFP Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 You could maybe try the VLC player which has a brilliant transcode wizard built-inhttp://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/I haven't tried you exact requirement but I've used it for all sorts of weird formats and it works great.

Quillan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I use Shark007 which replaces the Windows codecs and you can adjust them as you please, it works perfectly with Windows media player and server. Best of all its free and it definatly deals with H254. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I use vlc player (as already mentioned), but I have also downloaded the klite codec pack which covers most things.http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 The Sanyo Xacti codes directly into MPEG-4 AVCH.264 directly so a lot of video fits on an SD card; VLC plays it without any problem, although the Atom CPU on the netbook is pushed a bit.Although VLC is tops, not so sure about transcoding with command line if there is something simpler. So finally opted for Any Video Converter http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ which is dead simple to use and the free version recognises the AVCH.264.The reason for the transcode is to play stuff on the vehicle headrest video player using the maximum 8 GB on an SD card.OK there is MediaCoder but it is a tad bloated.

Jimmy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Out of interest why on earth would you want to play home movies in the car? and why only 8Gb when the camera supports 32Gb on an SDHC card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Perhaps because the car system doesn't recognise SDHC cards? Therefore 8gb will be the max it can read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of buy things at car boots to experiment this week an AceCat Flair tablet and a Pinnacle TNT USB key. The AceCat seems happy on the Vista unit but stymied at moment for lack of a quadruple A battery for the pen.....a lot cheaper than a WACO.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
