Why Convert AVCHD to YouTube Video Format?

With the growing pursue for digital recording and high-definition videos, more and more people, especially the youth, like to record their daily life or the beautiful scenery with the AVCHD camcorders and then upload to some video sharing websites, like YouTube, to share with their friends.
