Archiving AVCHD from camera for later processing
the way I do this from my Canon 7D / 100D is pop the CF or SD card into my Mac and copy the whole card to a folder with a very simple structure


Project_Name_Date


RAW_Cards


Camera_Name_Card00x      
Camera_Name_Card00x      




If I would add in a DATE Folder under the Poject_Name for multiple days/Dates, When I get back to the studio to start editing I can then just ingest these into my system.

You probably find the same system will work on a Windows PC as well.

The other alternative would be to use a card copy application to do all of this but might make it to complex for the user in the middle.
