Why Convert AVCHD to MP4?
I recorded several videos on my FZ150 which has AVCHD as a default. I believe the FZ150 records AVCHD 1080p at 50 fps. When I go to play them on my Dell 8500, with Intel I-7 (less than a year old) - the playback is jumpy with a stuttering sound. Is there a way to convert the videos in my computer to MP4 as well as retains 50fps?
