Many people now usually use a video camera for high-quality filming as a leisure activity. Then, appealing videos are expected to share with family or friends.

YouTube becomes one of the most popular video sites on the Web today. Millions of videos have been uploaded and shared here, ranging from movie trailers to amateur videos of cats- and everything in between. Feel like sharing your nice videos shot with HD camcorders with the world? YouTube has made efforts to make sure that the uploading process is as intuitive as possible. But the key issue lies that video footage of an HD camcorder is usually AVCHD format file which is not supported by YouTube for uploading.
Don’t panic. You are in the right place.
This post will show you the best solution to transfer Camcorder AVCHD to YouTube.
Part1: Connect Camcorder to Computer
It’s a good idea to transfer that video to your computer hard- drive. Typically, the easiest way to transfer video from a camcorder to a computer is to connect them via a USB cable and use the software that came with your camcorder to perform the transfer.
1: Turn your computer on
It will use a lot of system resources while transferring your video from a camcorder. Therefore, you'd better close other running programs before transfer videos to your computer.
2: Connect the cable to your camera
Typically, the port on your camera will fit the mini USB end of the cable. You may have to open a small panel on the digital camera body or even remove the camera battery to uncover the port.
3: Connect the cable to your computer
The other end of your USB cable will connect to one of the USB ports on your computer. On desktop computers, you’ll find USB ports on the front or back of the computer tower; laptops usually feature them on either side of the computer. Now your camcorder will be automatically detected and will appear as a hard disk drive on computer.
Tip: If your camera doesn’t have a USB port, refer to the manual for your camcorder to see what type of connection you will need to transfer camcorder video.
