In general I hate software made by hardware vendors (with Apple as the exception). <strong>The clips where worked on like this:</strong> Imported into Final Cut Express 4 (that transcodes them to Apple Intermediate codec) Edited and exported as an Apple Intermediate 1080i-file Deinterlaced with <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html" rel="nofollow">JES Deinterlacer</a> Coded to an end format with VisualHub (Mpeg4 H.264 etc...) For serious deinterlacing on Windows I recommend http://100fps.com I haven’t even considered the Panasonic software.

I went for the Sony HDR-SR7 myself. My PC is not powerful enough (by a long shot) to edit the original files, and the Sony software only allows me to export the original AVCHD (mts) files to DVD quality MPEG2 (720x576). So I'm looking to edit a format somewhere in between those two. 720p sounds ideal, but I've been unsuccessful in finding software to convert the AVCHD (1080i) to and editable format in 720p.

I have been looking into TMPGEnc for now. But it does not support .mp4 as input, only output. Duh. Read more here; http://blog.helge.net/labels/DVD.html I know.

On my Mac the software transcodes into an intermediate format for editing. Then I can do whatever I want. Burning a DVD etc. It's an extra step and it degrades quality slightly, but that's the price of recoring to a format that is not suitable for editing in the first place. As far as I understand Pinnacle Studio Ultimate will support AVCHD, burn DVDs etc... I see. On my Mac the software transcodes into an intermediate format for editing. Then I can do whatever I want.

I could play the clips but not use them for anything good without conversion. And becuase of that I will wait until my tools either support AVCHD or find another video camera with another codec. I am in no hurry as HD cameras are still very expensive. I ment my tools to create DVD’s. I could play the clips but not use them for anything good without conversion.

The original MTS-files from the camera are more tricky. The MP4-files should play fine i both Quicktime and VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/).

It seems like none of my tools can read .mp4 format files yet. Thanks for the videos. It seems like none of my tools can read .mp4 format files yet.
