iMovie HD + Voltaic = winner package - Version: 1.03a, 8/2/2007 08:33AM PST

kasutajaEnter Voltaic. With this cheap (and I mean the price) and easy to use (drag-and-drop) software, everybody can do HD video. Just copy your MTS or M2T files from camera to computer, drag-and-drop them (or just double-click!) to Voltaic application and voila!) My friend is quite happy that he doesn't have to rob the bank to get his lousy HD cam talking to Mac.
Extra points and compliments to Voltaic user support: That Sony SR8 camera did not record as advertized and with Voltaic we figured out the problem in no time. So if you first don't succeed - ask for help. Probably it's not the software thats faulty but your camera.
I see the Voltaic as a great piece of software and I'm planning to buy myself HD-capable camera, too. The picture quality is just too great to miss - I do motorcycle racing and I already see all those races captured in high-res :). Quite a jump considering the last on I filmed was done with Nokia N80 :) Yes, poor mobile phone was duct-taped to helmet. Don't laugh :)
Oh, disclaimer: I'm in no way affiliated with Voltaic. I was just a poor dude with HD camera who was left out cold by sony and by apple and now I'm extatic that tiny investment saved my day, week, a month, or even a year. :)

Much Cheaper than Final Cut Pro 6.0.1! And works on PowerPC as well as Intel - Version: 1.03a, 7/30/2007 07:15AM PST

Suburbia.org.ukVoltaic does what it says on the tin, converts your AVCHD video footage into HD video format that will work in iMovie or Final Cut Pro / Express. For Mac users who've been waiting to get editing their footage from the new generation of hard disk based camcorders such as Sony SR1 etc this is the solution. It's only $30US too, so it's a small price to pay for getting to use your camera properly! The resulting footage is converted into Quicktime movies using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920 x 1080. The audio ends up as full CD quality stereo audio tracks.
It's worth noting that although Final Cut Pro recently added support for AVCHD in the recent 6.0.1 update, Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 actually requires and Intel processor Mac to convert AVCHD footage, if you're on PowerPC systems like G5's then you're stuffed! But Voltaic works on both Intel and PowerPC systems. Another limitation with Final Cut Pro is that it requires all of the other additional files from your camera when converting, Voltaic only requires the .mts file itself.
Voltaic is really easy to use, simply drag and drop your video file onto the Voltaic app icon and it just gets on with the rendering process.
Still need some work - Version: 1.03a, 7/29/2007 10:25PM PST

jaglawAll attempts to fix per Voltaic's tech support were unsuccessful. Voltaic says it is a known problem, so you would think they would come up with a known solution.

vancemIt takes a bit of time to convert - but the quality is superb - looks like it hasn't been recompressed, turns out it converts it to Apple Intermediate Codex at 1888 x 1062. Went from a 15mb file to 85mb! But it looks great and imported into iMovie perfectly.
Yippee! No more Nero in Boot Camp!!
