Sony NEX-5

From the manufacturer's website:

" The NEX-5 has all picture quality of a DSLR, yet it's about half the size, half the weight and far less complex. Pulling off this minor miracle took some clever innovations in glass, silicon and software code. "

This camera is also known as (or is very similar to):

  • NEX-5N
  • NEX-7

Our testing confirms that ClipWrap also successfully converts Sony NEX-5 AVCHD (mts) footage. This means that files from the Sony NEX-5 can be converted and transcoded, and played in applications like Quicktime Player, iMovie, Avid, and Final Cut Pro. If you're using a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, ClipWrap is a great solution for working with these files. If you're on a newer Mac, we recommend using EditReady.
