Super Article About AVCHD High Definition Camcorder Format
Something to look forward to at the next NAB: getting twice the value out of your P2 cards. Snubbing MPEG-2 and its long-GOP encoding, the company plans
"Nonlinear editing vendors including Avid and Adobe are reported to be working to support AVCHD. To the extent they've developed technology to handle the long-GOP issues with HDV, that technology should be applicable to AVCHD's long-GOP as well."
Here is the key AVCHD point made by the first article cited:
"While not singling out HDV in the release, the companies are saying that AVCHD is at least twice as efficient as HDV."
"At twice the efficiency, a simple math exercise would show that with its 18 Mbps encoding, AVCHD is 28 percent more efficient on the storage side, and that would still allow AVCHD to produce about a 70 percent increase in picture quality over HDV."
