Posted by admin on September 14, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Panasonic HDC-SD700 provides a wealth of advanced features for experienced videographers, while remaining user-friendly for beginners. And we were highly impressed with the Panasonic 1080p series of HD camcorders, like Panasonic HDC-TM700, HDC-HS700, HDC-SD700 and HDC-SD60. Presently, it is a nice choice to enjoy and share camcorder recordings with friends via HTPC. And before playing, some editing options are needed.

Now I recommend a professional AVCHD Converter called Aunsoft MTS Converter which is powerful in converting, editing and combining AVCHD video files from HD camcorders. Sony Vegas is only compatible with Sony AVCHD, so I will show how to convert Panasonic AVCHD footage to Sony Vegas MPEG 2 with the help of Aunsoft.

Please follow these steps and make your Panasonic 1080 50/60p MTS files editable on Sony Vegas.

For preparation of conversion, transfer Panasonic SD700 to PC hard drive and run Aunsoft MTS Converter.
Step 1.Load 1080p MTS video files into this program.
Drag and drop oncoming converted MTS files to this program. Or click “Add” button to import Panasonic recording files. A bunch of video files are allowed to load, so combining several video files into one can be accomplished by ticking the checkbox of “Merge into one file“.

Step2.Choose Sony Vegas MPEG2 as output video format.
Click “Format” option and choose Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas-> MPEG 2 (*.mpg) as the output format.

Step 3 Start the conversion from 1080p MTS to MPEG 2 for Sony Vegas.
Click the big button of “Convert” and this Panasonic AVCHD to Sony Vegas Converter will start this conversion immediately.

When this conversion is completed, MPEG 2 file is ready for you to edit in Sony Vegas. Now you can enjoy perfect video recordings on HTPC.
