AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) is a digital recording format used primarily for high-definition video. Developed by Sony and Panasonic, it captures high-quality video using efficient compression technology, which reduces file size while maintaining clarity.

Files are often saved in formats like MTS or M2TS, and they can be played back on many TVs, computers, and video editing software. Overall, AVCHD balances excellent video quality with manageable file sizes, making it suitable for consumer and professional video production.
