Problem Solving: AVCHD not Playing in Windows Media Center Extender

Posted by admin on March 2, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

While from the listed Windows 7 Media Center supported file types, we can find AVCHD files including Dolby Digital with .m2ts, .m2t as file extensions. However, it is also mentioned that some Media Center extender devices may not support AVCHD files or Apple QuickTime files. Xbox 360 must be one of the media center extenders that are not compatible with AVCHD files yet.
I have some AVCHD files from Panasonic SD707 camcorder, and some are the backup files from blu-ray discs. I want to locate the files to home NAS Netgear, play with media PC and/or media extenders. However, the AVCHD videos does not play via media center.
One of the solutions is to make PlayStation 3 to stream AVCHD movies just like Xbox 360 as the media center extender device. Another workaround is to convert the vc-1 m2ts files to MPG for media center extender xbox 360. Aunsoft Video Converter will help you make Windows Media Center extenders like Xbox 360 compatible with AVCHD, by converting the files to supported formats.

Below is the fast guide for you to play AVCHD videos on NAS, media pc or media extender.
