Definition: AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) is a high definition (HD) digital video camera recorder format recording 1080i and 720p signals onto MiniDVD discs, MiniDV tape, Hard Drive, and digital camera Memory Cards, by using highly efficient compression format known as MPEG4 (H264). AVCHD was developed jointly by Matsushita (Panasonic), and Sony Corporation. AVCHD recordings made on MiniDVD discs can be played back on some Blu-ray disc players, however, they cannot be played back on standard DVD players. Also, standard DVD recorders are not currently equipped to record DVDs in the AVCHD format.
