Original file size was: ------------------------ 2008.05.01_video_01_1080i.m2ts 85MB Next I used the Panasonic included software to convert from (m2ts)to MPG MPG file: ------------------------ 2008.05.01_video_01_1080i.mpg 60MB The MPG file playback was good in WMP (both Audio & video). Next I opened the MPG file in VirtualDub-mpeg2 & tried to export it as an encoded AVI file, but there was no audio track even though the MPG file played both a/v in WMP. So I open the MPG in Adobe Audition v3.0, copied the audio track out as an MP3 file Then re-opened MPG file in VirtualDub-mpeg2 and loaded the MP3 audio file & checked the sync with the video.. and it was good, so then I saved the AVI file (using divx pro 6.8.2 codec), as shown below...

The HDC-SX5 uses the AVCHD format to record full-HD video with 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution.

It also boast Panasonic's new Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), minimizing the effect of hand shake. This technology helps produce crisp, clear images, which is especially important for viewing on large-screen high-resolution TVs where image imperfections are easily visible.

It can record up to 180 minutes of video on an 8GB SDHC memory card, and up to 60 minutes on a 3-inch DVD-R dual-layer disc. The combined media captures up to 240 minutes of full-HD recording. The SX5 can also copy recorded video from an SDHC/SD memory card to a 3-inch DVD disc internally with the touch of a single button, without connecting to a PC.
