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.
