AVCHD or HDV

[witcher]

We had film last weekend and I capture via onlocation CS4 and I open premiere pro cs4 which I should select HDV 1080i 60 or AVCHD 1080i (30) 60i because I check onlocation capture AVCHD 1080i 30fps.

But my canon XH A1 set 1080i (60) HDV.

Should select:

HDV 1080i (60) or
AVCHD 1080 (30) 60

We need start edit tomorrow.

Thanks

The A1 is hdv so select a hdv timeline.

To the best of my knowledge, OnLocation will only capture via Firewire... so it's either DV or HDV only, as AVCHD is not compatible with Firewire.

I check properties on video file and I got message said AVCHD video (.m2t) that's why make me confuse.

m2t is HDV. AVCHD is h.264 based which is a quicktime format.
