Converting from AVCHD to DV-AVI

Aug 10, 2012 by lindairion

Newbie post here. I am new to Corel VS x3 and HD editing. I have a newly acquired Canon HF S21 video camera that captures footage in AVCHD. I plan on using Corel for capture and edit. My question is for other AVCHD users. Do you use any tools to convert the files to .avi? And then edit those in VS X3 in order to aid the rendering process? Someone refered me to Cineform Neoscene. It is a bit pricey, but here it is: http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/ Before making a decision I’d like some feedback. Is this a good idea? Is AVCHD really a problem in VS x3? If I convert to .avi, will I be able to render to a BD DVD later on and still retain the HD image as good as that on the original AVCHD footage?

With all the talk about getting AVCHD files into a NLE, preferably one you already have and not have to go out and buy a new version. If I was to convert the AVCHD to DV-AVI 2 and keep all the settings at their highest will I get a larger file, smaller file or will it be the same size if no compression is used? And will Windows 32Bit be able to play it back smoothly?
