Re: Re: Advice on AVCHD video editing?

[Wayne Harrison <Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a quick 'to try' - have you just tried to rename the files as
a .avi?

Silly as it sounds, I had to do some work for someone that had a JVC
camera to which nothing knew of the file extentions it was using. As a
quick test I just gave the renaming as a test and low and behold it
worked!

Worth a quick go I guess :-)
