The version of VirtualDubMod I link to above includes some extra filters and templates specific to projects found on this site (including this one).

The rest of the software is free and may be downloaded directly from each link above. PowerDVD Ultra is not free, but it’s the only thing I’ve found that makes the M2TS files editable anywhere outside the lousy software Sony ships with the HDR-SR1. To edit the M2TS files you need the following software applications: PowerDVD Max or Deluxe might work as well, but I haven’t tired either one and Ultra also includes support for Blu-ray and HD-DVD disks which makes it worth the extra expense in my book. The only thing I found with support is Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 7 Ultra. Several h.264 compatible playback applications produce audio with no video or mangled looking video and no audio.
It turns out almost nothing but the AVCHD playback software shipping with the HDR-SR1 will play the M2TS files natively. I came up with a workflow that relies on features built into the newest version of PowerDVD Ultra combined with VirtualDubMod and AVISynth. I needed a way to edit the files at their native resolution, so I went digging for a solution.
The camera ships with software that converts the M2TS files to 720×480 MPEG-2 files and includes support for limited edit-to-DVD processing, which generally defeat the purpose of recording HD video. It is here for archival purposes only.īelow is the workflow I originally came up with before video editing software offered a solution for editing the AVCHD M2TS files created by the HDR-SR. I no longer recommend this method, because better tools exist. Pinnacle wins on ease of use, but it’s more limiting than Vegas if you’re willing to learn the interface. Nero Ultra Edition ENHANCED is an additional solution for editing the AVCHD files, however, I find other aspects of Nero frustrating and don’t use it for my own editing needs. The Sony Vegas option probably makes the most sense considering many of the AVCHD camcorders are made by Sony. Two years after the first AVCHD camcorder hit the market, a handful of tools now work well for editing AVCHD files created with Sony’s camcorders and the AVCHD camcorders from Panasonic. It is not without some frustration in the editing process. Recording video straight to hard drive using an AVCHD camcorder should speed up your video editing workflow.
