Title: Lumix ZS-10 : AVCHD files appear as JPEG
Post by: hellawaits77 on December 02, 2011, 04:01:09 AM

Just what the title says.  I recorded my first show w/ my Lumix ZS-10, and when I attempt to upload them to my PC, the files appear as JPEG.  Just a picture, in crappy quality.  I can play the video files fine on the camera.  I'm sure I have to download some type of codec my PC doesn't have, but I've been getting conflicting info from a couple threads I've read at different forums. 

I couldn't find a topic on this problem here at TS, but if there already was one, I apologize.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks very much!

You'll probably need to change your video settings on the camera -> Menu -> Rec Mode -> change from Motion JPEG to AVCHD Lite. You should be able to import the jpegs into a program (like Adobe Premier / Sony Vegas / Windoze Movie Maker) and export as a regular video format, although quality may be less than if they were recorded as .mts (AVCHD) format initially.
