Archive Your AVCHD File in 7Z Format
Learn how to convert and archive AVCHD video files into 7Z archives for efficient storage, secure transfer, and long-term backup while preserving the original folder structure.
Quick Access To 3 AVCHD File Conversion Pairs
What Is This Tool?
This tool converts AVCHD video files into 7Z archives, allowing you to compress and package your high-definition footage into a single file container. It enables secure storage and easy transfer while maintaining the original folder and file layout of your AVCHD recordings.
How to Use This Tool?
- Upload your AVCHD folder containing .mts or .m2ts video files
- Select 7Z as the archive output format
- Optionally choose encryption and multi-volume archive settings
- Start the conversion to package your video files into the archive
- Download the resulting 7Z file for storage or transfer
Key Features
- Compress AVCHD camera folder and files into a single 7Z archive
- Supports AES-256 encryption for secure backup storage
- Preserves directory structure and original video codec
- Enables multi-volume split archives for size-limited transfers
- Offers high compression ratios using LZMA/LZMA2 algorithms
Examples
- A videographer creates an AES-256 encrypted 7Z archive of event footage to securely send to a client
- A postproduction assistant generates a multi-volume archive of AVCHD files for easy transfer across storage devices with size limits
- Bundling raw AVCHD camera footage into one 7Z file to simplify organization and distribution
Common Use Cases
- Creating secure, space-efficient backups of original AVCHD recordings for long-term archiving
- Packaging AVCHD camera folder structures into a single archive for convenient sharing with editors or clients
- Reducing file counts by bundling multiple video files while preserving original content and folder layout
Tips & Best Practices
- Use encryption for sensitive footage to ensure security during storage and transfer
- Consider multi-volume archives when dealing with large AVCHD folders and limited storage media
- Be aware that AVCHD is already compressed; expect limited additional size reduction after archiving
- Keep a backup of the original AVCHD files before archiving to avoid accidental data loss
Limitations
- AVCHD video is already compressed with H.264; further compression with 7Z often yields minimal size reduction
- Archiving does not alter the original H.264 codec or long-GOP structure and does not improve frame-accurate editing
- Solid compression in 7Z archives can increase extraction time for individual files
- 7Z archives may require third-party software for extraction on some systems and demand notable CPU and memory resources
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can archiving AVCHD files in 7Z reduce their video quality?
- No, creating a 7Z archive packages the AVCHD files without modifying their video quality or codec.
- Do I need special software to open 7Z archives?
- Yes, 7Z archives are typically opened using third-party tools like 7-Zip, which support this format across platforms.
- Will converting AVCHD to 7Z improve editing performance?
- No, converting to 7Z does not change the AVCHD codec or long-GOP compression, which may still require transcoding for smooth editing.
Key Terminology
- AVCHD
- A format for recording high-definition video using H.264 codec within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream, designed by Sony and Panasonic for camcorders.
- 7Z
- An open archive format that compresses files using LZMA/LZMA2 algorithms and supports encryption, multi-volume archives, and checksums.
- LZMA
- Compression algorithm used by 7Z to achieve high compression ratios by efficiently encoding data.
