Bad news. Do you think it is possible to convert AVCHD to h264 using
ffmpeg prior to editing? This is quite important for me. I will be
interviewing a famous economist on Tuesday and I planned to buy this
camcorder. I already have a good tri-ccd camcorder, but I want high
quality and full frames 1080p.

Kind regards,
