Please note that AVCHD records, like all other HD media, might have big file size. So, if you import too many huge HD files, Freemake application will process them slower. If your personal movie is larger than 2 hours and takes more than 2 GB, we recommend transcoding such films one by one to avoid poor software performance.

Freemake utility is an all-in-one solution, that’s why you can edit your camcorder videos before AVCHD to MP4 conversion. Click on the green scissors sign next to the file title. There use such video editing options as crop, trim, mute, effects, captions, and so on. Please press the “OK” button in the center to save all file modifications.

Which one is better quality for a film: AVCHD vs MP4?


It depends on the way you plan to use your film. To show your work to your family and friends on a smartphone or other portable gadget, it’s better to select MP4 format. The MP4 format supports all HD qualities like 720p, 1080p, 4K. You’ll have no issues with playback MP4 files on modern smart TVs. However, if you’re going to watch your videos on your movies on Sony or Panasonic hardware like Sony Bravia TV or Panasonic TX OLED TVs, keep AVCHD format since these manufacturers support AVCHD format natively.

What is the best solution for converting AVCHD on a Mac?


As you know, Freemake tool doesn’t support Mac yet. Use free VLC video player to convert AVCHD video to MP4 on a Mac. Unfortunately, the process is much more difficult and less user-friendly. In a nutshell, install VLC on Apple Macintosh, add your media into VLC, go to the File menu and select conversion option, then choose an h.264 codec and run the encoding process to transcode the file.

How do I play AVCHD files on Windows Media Player?


There is no way to play AVCHD files on Windows Media Player. Convert AVCHD files to MP4 following steps 1-5 and play the converted clips in Windows Media Player.
