Easily Convert XAVC to MP4 for Playback on Mobile Devices

Posted by cindyhuan on April 24th, 2013

At present, more and more people own the pre-released Sony PMW-F55 HD cameras which are doing an excellent job in shooting home videos with its overwhelming specification. One of the most distinguished features of this great camera is that it shoots video and saves it in a brand new XAVC format—an open format introduced by Sony last year. Sometimes, we will want to import the recorded videos to the popular portable mobile devices such as iPhone 5, iPad 4, Galaxy S4 etc for playback so as to enjoy the video on the go. It sounds great, but the problem is that we cannot make it through smoothly without anything to help. Since we know, the XAVC is not as popular as most of current formats and is not widely used in the marketplace as well. Therefore, if we are planning to import XAVC footage to mobile devices for playing, we will have to try to convert XAVC to MP4 as priority because most of mobile devices like iPhone 5, iPad 4, Galaxy S4, HTC One, Xperia Z support MP4 the best.

To make our wish come true, we can rely on the best XAVC converter AND Mac XAVC converter developed by Doremisoft. As a professional XAVC converter, it can convert XAVC footages to almost any video file formats including MP4, MKV, WMV, AVI, DivX, XviD, VOB, MOV, M4V, FLV, etc. In this way, it allows us to share XAVC footage to YouTube freely. In the meanwhile, we can also edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro by asking the converter to convert XAVC to FCP’s best format MOV.
