It also recognizes Canon&#8217;s full range 8 bit YCbCr values (0-255), avoiding clipping and the resulting loss of picture information. The resulting files are the absolute highest quality you&#8217;ll ever get out of the camera. In fact, you could argue that they&#8217;re\u00a0even better\u00a0than the camera originals since they&#8217;ve undergone high quality chroma smoothing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"the-avchd-folder-cannot-open-error\">The AVCHD Folder &#8221;Cannot Open&#8221;
