[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD AVCHD] (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a format for the recording and playback of high definition video.

Got a HD home movie camcorder already and ready to shoot the coming holiday gathering? We used to burn home movies to DVD for sharing sweet holiday videos with family and friends. However, nowadays more and more people would like to show the world their holiday home movies by uploading the videos to YouTube. It's easy and FREE!

A good news is YouTube recently began offering users an option to view content in high definition 1080p resolution (when the source upload supports it). But YouTube is currently experimenting with this feature and optimizing it accordingly, so it can't guarantee that your videos will always be transcoded into this format with this user option present. The recommended resolution to upload a HD home movies to YouTube is 1280 x 720, not 1920 x 1080 (1080p). So make sure you've captured HD home movies with 720p resolution.
