How to use convert Camcorder Video MOD/TOD/M2TS to AVI/MP4/FLV etc with HD video converter
Part 1: why convert camcorder video to AVI, WMV, FLV etc?

Nowadays, more and more families own digital camcorders such as JVC GZ-X900, Panasonic HDC-TM350,

SDR-SW21, Canon FS200, Sony HDR-XR100 etc. With these camcorders, we can store many wonderful and

memorable scenes.

These camcorders usually record the video as MOD, TOD or AVCHD (M2TS, MTS) video files. All of

these files are high definition videos, with perfect video quality. Only one thing for regret - so

little devices can support these HD (High-definition) camcorder videos. Normally, you can only

play camcorder videos directly from a camcorder on a HDTV with a HDMI, or burn onto DVD disc, then

play from Blu-ray Disc player, or play on a computer from the camcorder connected via USB as an

external storage device.

However, have you imagined playing your camcorder videos on your laptop, iPod, iPhone, Zune or any

other portable players? Or even uploading your camcorder videos to YouTube, Myspace, Facebook to

share with all of your friends?
