Camcorder like JVC GZ-HM400, Sony HDR-SR10E and Canon VIXIA HFS10 etc which record video in AVCHD(MTS, M2TS,TS) format are widely welcomed. But some famous movie editor, such as the latest version of Final Cut Pro/Final Cut Express, iMovie etc. can support AVCHD formats but can only work with Intel-based system. Sony Vegas 9 etc is said to be very laggy when preview MTS video. So we often need a AVCHD converter to convert AVCHD format to other common format like MP4, MOV, VOB etc to do further edit more convenient.
Relationship between Final Cut Pro and AVCHD Video
In fact, only the most current version of FCP6/7 (and FCE4 and iMovie`08(07) that shipped with iLife08) can deal with AVCHD encoded video. AVCHD is a compressed video format, and any software that you use need to be able to essentially decompress the video to edit, in other word, if you shoot AVCHD video in 1080i with your camcorder, you can later save a version of the file from Final Cut Pro as a 1280x720 movie. So it is always better to edit video in its native format with FCP.
