Retain your memory of 2010 FIFA World Cup – make short film and DVD from your HD footages





This summer will definitely be different. From the 11 June to 11 July, the world's largest, most-watched football extravaganza keeps moving on in South Africa. Never before has an African country been afforded the opportunity to host such a prestigious sporting event, and almost half-a-million visitors are expected to experience the spectacle firsthand, while a worldwide, a television audience of between 35 and 40 billion "cumulative" viewers will witness the action and drama on screen.



Now the countdown of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is coming to an end. Finally the grand tournament is within reach. Although a number of greatest players will miss this moment, like Totti and Ronaldinho, still we have Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon... Probably one of them will win the Golden Boot for most goals scored in the 2010 World Cup. And new stars are expected to emerge from out of nowhere.

If you have been fortunately enough winning a vacation and tickets for the World Cup, and are now heading for South Africa, I would say congratulations to you. Nothing beats following your team away from home. And I’m sure you won’t forget to bring your camcorder and keep it charged. Apart from the most exciting football games, most famous star players, enthusiastic soccer fans and fevered atmosphere, there are many historical attractions you should not miss. For instance, if you are going to Johannesburg for the final, the Addo National Park, the Boardwalk Casino and the main beachfront area along the Marine Drive are the top three places worth a visit.







When you take the wonderful football matches, grand stadiums and beautiful sceneries, have you ever thought of making those footages into short film and burn the HD video clips to blu-ray disc or DVD for collection? Yet the footages (especially AVCHD clips) produced by camcorders are not accepted by most editing software. For example, the Canon cams and video products on the market today save to .mov files. And almost every mov file format is different. Some you can import into Adobe Premiere Pro while other mov files no audio or the video is scrambled. Now Pavtube provides you perfect solution by converting the HD footages (MOD, TOD, MTS, MOV files generated by Canon, Sony, JVC and Panasonic cameras and camcorders to compatible and editable video files for Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Avid, Pinnacle Studio, Magix Movie Edit Pro, etc to work with. Pavtube gives you best video quality and perfect synchronization. Besides, you can also convert the above mentioned video footages for burning with Windows DVD Maker on PC and iDVD on Mac.

AVCHD Lite is a subset of AVCHD format, which identifies devices that are capable of 720p/30fps recording only. For the users of Panasonic Lumix digital cameras (DMC-FT1, DMC-FZ35, DMC-FZ38 etc), AVCHD Lite is a familiar phrase. The name was used first in marketing literature for the Panasonic DMC-ZS3 digital cameras, announced in January 2009.

How to play and edit the AVCHD Lite MTS file?

Comparing with Full HD, the 720p/30fps video is recorded in the normal AVCHD 720p/60 format, but every other frame is duplicated, resulting in thirty actual frames per second. Since the footage is recorded in MTS format and 720p/30fps, it could be troublesome when you try to play or edit the AVCHD Lite video. Most media players refuse to load the MTS format, as for the editing software, few of them work well with the AVCHD footage. Here I recommend you VLC Player and KMPlayer which are capable of playing the AVCHD Lite videos. If you would like to edit the AVCHD MTS footage, or would rather use Windows Media Player to play these MTS files, a best way is to convert the AVCHD Lite MTS footage to AVI format first.





How do I convert the Panasonic AVCHD Lite video to AVI for editing and playing?

For converting AVCHD to AVI for edit, a recommended format is “DV”> “DV AVI”.





Step 3. Click "Settings" button to adjust video and audio parameters

Notice that which parameter to select has close relationship with the hardware configurations of your computer. If you selected HD Video in Step 2, we advise you to adjust the A/V parameters as below shows so as to get the best quality at least file size:

What is AVCHD Lite? How to play AVCHD Lite video on Mac?

Comparing with Full HD, the 720p/30fps video is recorded in the normal AVCHD 720p/60 format, but every other frame is duplicated, resulting in thirty actual frames per second. A good news for Mac guys is that Apple has made it clear that iMovie 09’ is able to edit the AVCHD Lite video. Yet the AVCHD Lite video turns out to be incompatible with QuickTime Player. Surely you may play it with Mplayer or VLC player, but guys like me would rather use QuickTime Player watching everything. In order to play the AVCHD Lite video files generated by the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 smoothly on Mac, the AVCHD Lite must be converted to QuickTime compatible format, like MOV, MP4, etc.



How do I convert the AVCHD Lite for playing with QuickTime Player on Mac?
