How to transfer AVCHD Lite video to computer?
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (also known as DMC-TZ7) can record 720p HD video in the AVCHD Lite video format (1280 x 720), with the “.mts” file extension, which has no time limit on video length and which has file sizes much smaller than the alternative Motion JPEG format. AVCHD recordings can be transferred to a computer by connecting the camcorder via the USB connection. Many camcorders can record to removable media like SDHC and Memory Stick cards or DVD discs, which can be read on a computer directly. Copying files from an AVCHD camcorder or from removable media can be performed much faster than from a tape-based camcorder, because the transfer speed is not limited by realtime playback.
