AVCHD Factor
AVCHD uses h.264 for video compression and AAC for audio. This is even more processor intensive than HDV. So you also need to convert to the Apple Intermediate Codec if you plan to edit in Final Cut Pro.

Famous quotes containing the word factor:
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
