Each video clip recorded by the camcorder is stored in a separate AVCHD file. Therefore, I usually end up with a large number of AVCHD video files in one recording session. Some of the video clips may last for a few seconds while others may last for a few minutes. </p> <center> <div id="postads"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-4358448587847177"; /* AVCHD Middle Image Only */ google_ad_slot = "2719409525"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </center> <p class="post"> Although many software video players, such as Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic, can play multiple AVCHD clips continuously, they usually exhibit a small pause when going from one clip to another. I find this to be quite annoying, especially when viewing many short clips. In order to play the video smoothly, I have to join the AVCHD files into one large file first and then play the joined video file afterwards. </p> <p class="post"> There are many commercial software programs that can process AVCHD videos. The one that I have is Sony's Vegas Movie Studio 9 which is a rather good AVCHD editing tool. It can add many special effects to my videos and can also convert the AVCHD videos to a number of different formats so that I can upload them to YouTube or my iPod. However, Vegas Movie Studio 9 does take a long time to join AVCHD video clips, even without adding any special effects at all. For example, it takes Vegas Movie Studio 9 about three hours to join one hour of AVCHD video in my computer that has an Intel dual-core T9500 processor. </p> <p class="post"> Very often, I just want to join the AVCHD video clips quickly without doing any video editing. I have been looking for a fast (and hopefully free) way to join the AVCHD video files. After doing some research on the web, I have found that there are indeed free tools that can join AVCHD video files much faster than Vegas Movie Studio 9. I can now join an hour of AVCHD video in <i>minutes</i> instead of hours. I will describe where to get these tools and how to use them in my <a href="http://avchdvideos.blogspot.com/p/joining-my-avchd-videos.html"> Joining My AVCHD Videos </a> page. </p> <center> <div id="postads"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-4358448587847177"; /* AVCHD Middle Image Only */ google_ad_slot = "2719409525"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </center> <p class="post"> Quite often, I also want to trim an AVCHD video clip quickly without doing any additional video editing.
