Tips:

AVCHD specification allows using several kinds of recording media, in particular recordable DVD discs, memory cards, non-removable solid-state memory and hard disk drives. AVCHD camcorders do not use magnetic tape.

DVD discs are the original media specified in the AVCHD standard. Recording capacity ranges from 1.4 GB for a single-sided single layer disc to 5.2 GB for a double-sided double layer disc.
Hard Disk Drives (HDD) were added as a possible medium to AVCHD specification shortly after the new video standard had been announced. Capacity ranges from 30 GB to 240 GB.
Many tapeless camcorders record to memory cards, such as SD/SDHC cards or "Memory Stick" cards  Some AVCHD camcorders come with built-in solid-state memory either as a sole media, or in addition to other media.
