<h1 class="post"> My AVCHD videos</h1>
<p class="post">
I have a Sony camcorder (HDR-SR11) that records high definition (HD)
videos in
AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) format.
Each video clip recorded by the camcorder is stored in
a separate AVCHD file.
Therefore, I usually end up with
a large number of AVCHD video files
in one recording session.
Some of the video clips may last for a few seconds
while others may last for a few minutes.

Although many software video players,
such as Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic,
can play multiple AVCHD clips continuously,
they usually exhibit a small pause when going from one clip to another.
I find this to be quite annoying, especially when viewing many
short clips.
In order to play the video smoothly,
I have to join the AVCHD files into one large file first
and then play the joined video file afterwards.
</p>
<p class="post">
There are many commercial software programs
that can process AVCHD videos.
The one that I have is Sony's Vegas Movie Studio 9
which is a rather good AVCHD editing tool. It
can add many special effects to my videos
and can also convert the AVCHD videos to a number of
different formats so that I can upload them to YouTube or my iPod.
However, Vegas Movie Studio 9 does take a long time to
join AVCHD video clips, even without adding any special effects at all.
For example,
it takes Vegas Movie Studio 9 about three hours to join one
hour of AVCHD video in my computer that has
an Intel dual-core T9500 processor.

<p class="post">
Very often, I just want to join the AVCHD video clips quickly without
doing any video editing.
I have been looking for a fast (and hopefully free) way
to join the AVCHD video files.
After doing some research on the web,
I have found that there are indeed free tools that can
join AVCHD video files much faster than Vegas Movie Studio 9.
I can now join an hour of AVCHD video in <i>minutes</i>
instead of hours.
I will describe where to get these tools and
how to use them in my
