VoltaicHD� is a simple yet effective high definition video converter

VoltaicHD� is a simple yet effective high definition video converter
that enables you to convert footage, shot on an AVCHD camera, so it
can be edited in your favourite Mac or PC video editing software.

Other software packages can do this, but VoltaicHD� has an edge - it
lets you copy all your clips to your computer, unplug your camera,
then convert the clips while you (and your camera) go and do other
things.

You can even preview the first frame of the AVCHD files, so you can
easily decide which of the clips you want to convert, and which to
leave for another day.

Here's just how simple it is:
Shoot your video
Copy your video clips to your computer, then unplug your camera
In VoltaicHD�, preview and select which clips to convert
Use VoltaicHD� to convert from AVCHD to a friendly, editable file
format
Import the clips into your favourite editing software
Start editing and get creative

So why do I need to convert my files before editing? (I hear you
asking)

AVCHD video files, taken straight off your camera, are highly
compressed and require very specialised (and expensive) software
packages to edit them. This takes a lot of computer power, so you'll
also need a high-end editing hardware set-up.

So what you really need is to convert the video, without tying up your
camera for hours, into a format that can be edited on a typical home
computer.

Well, now you can - and VoltaicHD� is the solution. Since VoltaicHD�
decompresses your clips and converts them to an editable (but still
high-definition) format, your computer has a much easier time handling
the full HD clips.
