     • VoltaicHD contains a number of advanced features used to auto-detect your video's properties and optimize your conversion.

   • Quick Previews: VoltaicHD provides you with a convenient preview of the first frame of your video. This is displayed on a slide-out window, so you can display these previews only when required.
5. No camera: VoltaicHD does not need your camera connected when converting. Just copy your videos from your camera (or better yet use FlamingoHD to take care of this), drag them onto VoltaicHD, click Start and you’re away. 
   
   • MTS and m2ts Files: AVCHD videos are saved with a .MTS or .m2ts file extension. A large number of built-in video converters require a camera or full camera file system in order convert the videos. VoltaicHD requires only the AVCHD video files.

   • 24p Pulldown: VoltaicHD supports 24p pulldown to restore a 24p clip encoded at 60i, back to the original progressing 24p format in which it was shot.
