The cameras record to FAT 32, presumably to have compatibility between MAC and PC and maybe efficiency for small memory sizes. It just depends what file format its recorded in. Yes I agree the problem is with stitching the FAT 32 files together but AVCHD doesn't have a file size limit. Well I guess I didn't explain things very well.

#VIDEOPIER HD HOW TO#

I found the following link which offers information on how to work with AVCHD and MAC and may offer a better solution.Įditing AVCHD on Mac OS X with iMovie or Final Cut This is a goshawful complicated way of having to do it. MTS files to be converted to something else, and I suspect the corruption is happening in Videopier HD and the conversion to Avid ready Quicktime. Your problem probably stems from your NLE needing the the. Or use a USB cable from the camera to the USB port on the computer and copy them over. MTS files from the internal memory over to an SDHC card to do what I describe above and go from there. MTS files and drag 'n drop to whatever folder I need to put them into.

For some reason MAC software still seems to lag behind and be overly complicated in this respect.įor me, with the HF100, I pull the SDHC card and plug it into a USB reader, plug that into a USB port and the computer 'sees' it as a drive or external storage device. One of the really neat things about AVCHD is the utter simplicity of transfer of video files to the computer. Would someone kindly tell me how I can convert one of these troublesome files to QuickTime, so I can see if the problem is with the file itself, or with my software? MTS files with the right number in the STREAM folder. I still have two of the suspect (?) files on the Canon drive, at least I presume these are the files: they're in the BDMV folder. If the problem is with VideoPier, I'd like to see if I can export the files another way.

VideoPier simply wasn't able to export the three files that it showed (in its thumbnail icons) as question marks. Here's another hypothesis: each time I exported these files I used software called VideoPier HD (which exports Avid-ready QT files).

The three 'problem' files were all interview clips, which could have been 15 minutes long. I notice that twenty-odd short shots I got AFTER this afternoon's interview (street scenes) are all fine. But now that it's happened a second time, and a third time (and with a Canon as well as a Sony), it makes me think it might not be the camera. When it happened the first time, I blamed myself: user error with the camera.

I've tested a Sony XR-520 during an interview (handheld worked well), and now a Canon HF S10 (once on a tripod, with a bad experience with auto-focus, and today handheld with manual focus, and that part worked fine), and after each of these three shoots, one out of the approximately five interview 'takes' was labelled as corrupted (actually, marked with a question mark) by VideoPier HD, which I use to export for Avid.
