About the AVC
High-Definition Television Format

AVCHD
 
The AVC format (Advanced Video Coding) is a high-definition format originally
developed for HD video cameras which has been adapted for and generally
accepted as the high-definition television format for widescreen televisions
worldwide (although not all consumer Blu-ray Disc players support the format;
check your manufacturer’s documentation for confirmation).

The AVCHD video format definition is for up to 60 interlaced frames per second,
1080 resolution lines per video frame (1920 x 1080 or 1440 x 1080), compressed
in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec.

Audio formats supported within the format are compressed Dolby Digital (AC-3)
surround sound, and compressed linear PCM stereo and mono sound. Some
Blu-ray Disc players support playback of uncompressed DTS-HD 7.1 surround
sound outside the AVCHD video format.
