  • Content Management Utility – Playback issue

    Posted by Andrew Collar on June 26, 2012 at 7:45 pm

    All my 2MTS files fail to play in the preview panel of the Sony Content Management Utility ver 2.1 – however, they will play in my VLC player. No problem importing, see the thumbnail – get one flash in the preview window and thats it. Video shot HD FX & HD FH on a NX70U. Any thoughts folks ?

    XP – SP3
    Quad
    4 gig

    have matrox and CS3 Creative Suite installed.

    The issue is with you running XP, which doesn’t support the AVCHD format natively. The OS is missing components needed to properly play the video. All AVCHD users on a PC need to be on Windows 7. Google AVCHD and Windows XP for technical explanations. There is a patch you can install but it’s complicated and has been known to cause serious issues with other programs when installed.

    Thanks for the feedback, makes sence….except..VLC player handles the file on the same computer – does this mean VLC is smarter than XP and overcomes its file handleing inabilities of AVCHD by packing its own codecs and ingoring system codecs?

    I am about to upgrade to 64 bit and purchase CS6 Prodcution Suite – do you recommend Win7 or the new Win 8 operating system ?

    Thanks a bunch
