Crashes on my Win 7 64 bit also

Tested on (XP SP3)
Installed, Registered No problem.

I currently don't have any AVCHD Camera's (Plenty of MiniDV's though and a pile of other downloaded stuff) and so logically I don't have any actual AVCHD files which can load.

So for kicks I hit * in the add file field and load an flv file. Now I can select my Output Format, and wow a nice plethora of choices.

The Bad. I can not select specific typed dimensions. say 720 x 480
The Good. Lots of template choices with adjustable bitrate, Sample Rate Channel and Codec. So if you are just trying to grind out your public access tv show to MPEG-2 you are definitely going to like this. And if your just going to go from one format to another, your are going to like it.

Since I was talking MPEG-2 I might as well end it with saying that is what I choose to render the .flv file to.

"Time Remain" Remaining?
"Status is Succeed" Succeeded?

I can't whine, it's another freebie to add to the stack of tools. Early in the AVCHD days finding tools to work with AVCHD was quite a pain. Today though, who know's when your friend is going to bring over a cheap AVCHD Camera loaded and ready to dump, now we are ready for that dump, and can convert to something more reasonable to edit with.

It also appears to fit in with a Sony Vegas work-flow for getting those newer AVCHD files. Vegas nativity imports SOME .mts files, this now picks up where that leaves off.

Thumbs up here!

The program works fine EXCEPT, it crashes on both computers when I try to play the AVCHD raw file in the little player on the lower right of the user interface. I tried this several times and it always crashes immediately. I can convert and trip AVCHD Videos fine as long as I don’t try doing anything in that player window. Just thought you would like to know. It has a big bug in the program which needs to be fixed.

There is no bug.
Tested this on more than one sample AVCHD m2ts file.
The bottom right hand side player inside Aneesoft AVCHD Converter functions perfectly and plays the videos (on my simple XP system).

Oops-- yes, my bad after all-- installs and activates fine on Win7 Home 64bit SP1.

Still testing, and pretty late in the giveaway-day, but wanted to follow up with my self-correction immediately.

So far seems easy to use (just started first conversion), and offers many target formats with short but accurate and helpful descriptions.

The shameless promotion (reminder?) of the 'Upgrade' to Total Media Converter is a bit annoying, but mostly understandable considering this is a custom version for the benefit of GOTD 'testers'. ;]

First run had confusing glitches in the files list frame: bad/unusable column widths (extremely narrow; just a click on a column handle seemed to snap them into usable sizes); double-clicking a column handle had non-standard effect too (shrinks a column width way too much).

Again, otherwise seems easy to use and make useful.

Will finish comments when done testing (hopefully yet today!).

Would like to try this before it's too late, but it's only 10:15pm (EST GMT -5h) and SETUP.EXE says the giveaway period is already over? Is it just my connection?

Aneesoft AVCHD Converter 3.1.0 can deal with avchd (mts, m2ts etc), and convert them to common video formats. To some other popular video formats, i think i'd rather get a professional converter like total video converter from www.mac-videoconverter.com ( windows and mac version included ) Which can convert almost all video formats on Windows or Mac. THX GOTD!

same as #12. Installed on 2 different computers. Windows 7-64 and 7-32 and same problems as #12. Makes me wonder what other ptoblems this rogram might be causing to my computer.

Pardon my ignorance, but I just unpacked my very first digital camcorder yesterday. It is a Samsung SMX-F40BN. Do I understand correctly that Sumsung does not use the AVCHD format? Is this AVCHD converter program therefore useless to me (at least for this camcorder?)

Thanks,

Why is the first post always ..."WoW, This is exactly what I need" or something to that effect. Thats Funny, Happy Holidays to everyone Here and Keep up the good work GAOTD , I think this is a very good Site , I'm sure #1 would agree.

Thank You for explanation; it verifies I have old equipment and no use for this program. You mentioned Sony uses this format, makes me wonder how anyone else could also have it, as they are so proprietary with all their stuff. As more formats are developed the interoperability will continue to go down, or until the technology narrows back down to just a couple of formats. Appreciate the clarifications from you.

No Thanks: I downloaded and installed and registered the Aneesoft AVCHD Converter 3.1.0. Immediately an upgrade offer for the entire program is offered. I tried using it to convert DVD Mini's from Sony Cam Corder the disks were read as blank. They were full of data.
I Uninstalled the Aneesoft AVCHD Converter 3.1.0.
I will use a different conversion program. It would have been useful if the entire program was available to GiveawayoftheDay not a very limited program.

Crashes on my Vista 64

When I bought my JVC Camcorder, I noticed it produced MOD files instead of a "normal" file format. Even though I could transfer to my computer, click on them and have Windows Medial Player recognize and play them, they didn't work outside of that. I had no way to edit or upload.

I searched everywhere for a converter but at the time none existed and it was very frustrating. With a little more research I found that you can simply change the extention from MOD to AVI and have been "converting" them this way ever since.

Now, I don't know if this is the correct way, but I cannot see any loss in playback and takes all of a half second to convert with the ability to batch rename.

Well I spoke too soon - Multi hangups, must close program. Can't set profile as a default, must select each time. No progress bar.

NOT ready for prime time - But thanks for the trial so I know to stay away from product line.

Work very well - Win7-64x. My only negative would be that it will only convert one file at a time - Can't select multi-files to convert

As I get MTS files in AVCHD mode from my Canon camera, I was interested. After installing and Activating on my well equipped Win 7 Prox64 system, the software justs hangs after a MTS file is loaded.

Aneesoft AVCHD Converter 3.1.0 is a ompletely worthless piece of junk.

Same comment as Arnie above: "I ran the setup and then the activate but it still shows as unregistered. When I try to register, it asks for a registration number. What goes?"

Same for me. I installed, then uninstalled the program. Waste of time.

To Dan (# 17) and promytius1 (# 25):
AVCHD is a file format, used in several photo and video camrea's, to store video clips in High Definition, for instance by Sony.
Many computers, using Windows Media Player, have difficulties in playing them back. Sony gives the program PMB (Picture Motion Browser) with their cameras, with which you can convert them to WMV format (Unfortunately only to WMV).
Some TV sets also have difficulties in playing them back.
Some converters also have difficulties with the AVCHD format (for instance Any Video Converter Free and Aisee Soft Total Media Converter ).
Format Factory does a good job.
I haven't tried Aneesoft AVCHD Converter.

program crashes when more than 8 clips in queue ... (tried on 7 and XP)

changing destination is VERY slow ...
might need "settings for selected / all" button
for the rest : PERFECT !
Those who want more effects : get a program specialised for that. This prog is a CONVERTER !
thanks gotd !
thanks aneesoft !

Without an explanation of what "convert AVCHD (mts, m2ts), MOD and TOD video" means, I can't even think about downloading it. What is this even referring to? I guess it's too high tech for me; never heard of any of that stuff, so my feedback is to explain what those technical names mean/stand for. I get .avi from my camera...

Very good tool for my AVCHD video, thanks GOTD and Aneesoft!

Works fine on my Canon FS10 MOD to wmv converting, Windows XP!!
The quality is not bad, easy-understanding interface and easy to use!
overall, I review it 4.5stars!

It all comes down to the codex that they use. In other words you have to check if the tea is out of date before buying it !
Tea there is too old don´t taste good, nor do any old codex make beautiful files.

Hi GAOTD nice people
#17 AVCDH stands for Audio Vedio Camcoder High Definition (video).
The program is nice and simple with a beatiful skin and interface but i prefer Tipard converter since it has more video editing features.
However,I shall use this program for the sake of your eyes!
Thanx GAOTD.

Hi,
drag-n-drop doesn't work on Windows 7 x64. Am I doing something wrong here?

This version doesn't allow AVCHD MOV files from my CANON G12
So... no good

Color me stupid. I had to Google AVCHD video to even see what that meant. Since I had no clue I guess I didn't need it huh?

hi.

Downloaded without a problem and installed. Ran the software and loaded my file for convertion and ---- zilch!

Closed software, re-booted and went thru the same process. Same result but this time had to force a close. Not good
Re-downloaded it and went thru the exact same process with identical result even though I removed the original download with Revo.

Bit of a non-starter on my XP machine.

I also note the usual band of 'Unlikely' comments (No's 1-7) and the highly unlilkely 'thumbs up' again which is a very good reason to vote the other way but apart from that, this offering doesn't work, so thumbs down anyway.


I hope that sometime in the future developers will learn to check their offerings' compatabilities before giving them for us to assess because this could have been useful, but I refuse to wet nurse it into action by finding out where the fault is.

Thanks anyway and Happy New Year to those at HDUK.

wow, it's really a great offer on the total media converter, save a lot, thanks. the avchd converter is very practicle for me, i think i will keep on using it.

Thank you GOTD for this Freeware for today, but I use Tipard Total Media Converter and it does everything I need. Merry X-Mas everyone!

That should have read, "I can convert and TRIM AVCHD videos fine."

I installed this on two computers, one is running Windows XP Professional 32 bit, and the other is running Windows XP 64 bit. The program works fine EXCEPT, it crashes on both computers when I try to play the AVCHD raw file in the little player on the lower right of the user interface. I tried this several times and it always crashes immediately. I can convert and trip AVCHD Videos fine as long as I don't try doing anything in that player window. Just thought you would like to know. It has a big bug in the program which needs to be fixed. My computers are up to date and don't crash otherwise.

Can anybody please tell me the difference between today's software and Format Factory which is a freeware? BTW thanks GOTD for their continuous endeavor.

I installed, but have a "this program has been forced to shutdown' in XP before loading. Any ideas? worked with Win 7...

I ran the setup and then the activate but it still shows as unregistered. When I try to register, it asks for a registration number. What goes?

Please help, can not activate the program writes the program activate.exe stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Exit the program.

I downloaded this software and used it for try. It's good

to convert mts, m2ts files to my ipad2 in 1080P. A

little excit for me. I think it also can convert mts,

m2ts, mod and tod files to other devices. And I tried the

edit functions, it's OK. It's advisable for downloading

and using. TKS GOTD.

Thanks for GOTD. it works ok for me. but it output video quality is badly for me. and i have tried use others video converter. and i found snowfox total video converter is suite for me which get a excellent oputput hd video quality..

Pros
- Easy-to-use
- Multiple output formats
- Clean software
- Free
Cons
- Limited video editings
Summary
I've never expected a free video converter could output such a high quality files. In summary, it done the job beautifully, I like it. Merry Christmas!

it took over 7 minutes (quad processor) to convert m2ts (AVCHD) file of 2 minutes to mp4.

Original file 263mb to a 163mb mp4 file.
The video was 1920×1080 29fps.
This is good software and I would recommend it!

I don't know why so many people unlike this.Anyway, it works good for me. Thanks Aneesoft.

Wow, thanks GOTD. The software looks exactly what I need for my video editing needs.

Wow, thanx GOTD!! I like this software! This is what i'm looking for!
