Canadian site Digital Home has a new FAQ about AVCHD over here, but I also have a short explanation with good links here on the What is H.264 / AVC and why you need it? page.
AVCHD, which stands for Advanced Video Codec High Definition, is a high-definition (HD) digital video camera recorder format, created by Sony and Panasonic in May 2006.
The format employs MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) codec for video compression, and Dolby Digital (AC-3) or Linear PCM for the audio codec. Using an AVCHD camcorder, videographers are able to record about one hour of high definition recording on a 4GB SDHC flash memory Card.
AVCHD recordings can be transferred to a computer by connecting the camcorder via the USB connection. Many camcorders can record to removable media like SDHC and Memory Stick cards or DVD discs, which can be directly read on a computer. The good news for hdtv owners is that thanks to an increasing acceptance of the format by the consumer electronics industry, many new HDTV's from JVC, Panasonic and Sony now have microSD slots which will accept and playback memory cards with AVCHD recordings on them.
