Sony is such a poor software maker. First off, they did not have software to edit the AVCHD stuff that comes out of their HD Camcorders. I heard that Sony Vegas now supports AVCHD editing. Based on my experience with all the crap I got from Sony’s software division, I would not pay money to buy it. How many of you had bad experience with bundled software that comes with Sony Vaio laptops or Sony computers? I had many and that is how started installingclean Windows XP on all my computers. All outsourced crap I think.
This is another one. The tools come with Sony HDR-SR1 can convert AVCHD to mpg files. The problem is, it won’t play in Windows Media player. There is a ton of mpg files on my hard drive from other tools, mostly converted from AVI files and they play in WMP just fine. After almost 6 months of having this camcorder, I am still frustrated.
-_- I bought one too, and thought it was was the greatest thing in the world until I tried to convert it to mpeg so I could burn it onto DVDs and post it on the internet.
Is there ANY way to work with the files??? I mean, not just play it on MY computer, but also have the files compatible with media players on OTHER computers as well.
