William Reynish Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 New A7s user here. When importing from the memory card, I can only see a list of mp4 files, even though I selected XAVC-S in the camera itself. This is really confusing me - are the mp4 actually XAVC-S files in disguise? Or are the XAVC-S files somewhere else that I can't find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrgl Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pretty sure MP4 is used as the container for XAVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yes XAVC-S is an H.264 compression format by Sony. It's a commercial name. The codec is H.264 and the "mov." "mp4." "mts." are just containers for that codec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interceptor121 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 XAVCS is called like that because it is a non compliant mp4. Mp4 requires AAC audio or PCM instead the Sony XAVCS have a WAV audio that makes them uncompliant. Quicktime won't play it but VLC will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
