<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Hello x264 coders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>I want to point out something I feel is
important and get a feel from your guys about possible future directions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Recently I got a small AVCHD camera and
recorded a 320p, 720p, 1080p video files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>I then dropped them on my server as is (Directly
from the camera 4gig flash card). Pointed the new FlashPlayer 9.3 (With
H.264/AAC support) and guess what.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>They played fine. See this blog post as a
demo of this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>This leads me to ask you guys, as you’re
most likely to be able to answer this question, like MPEG2 editing as is done
by products like “VideoRedo”, will such functionality be possible
with AVCHD files?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>If so, that would be great as you could
edit your AVCHD files without having to transcode/recompress. Just stay in the
universal H.264 codec which is becoming a defacto standard in that nearly all
new technology players will play it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Thanks for your comments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
