• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I see you are looking for the same answer as me! and as usual nobody replies, they never do to mine so don't worry about it jajaja. have you found one yet? I am looking for a HD cam that will import direct into Final cut pro in AVCHD format but although many cams have this format is doesn't mean to say it will work, very frustrating!. Good luck.

Ok...go with a Panasonic DMC - ZS3... It shoots HD in jpeg and AVCHD lite. It's compatible with the Intel Macs and works great in iMovie 09. It's not a camcoder but I dare say will outperform many... Also a quality still camera as well. Has been replaced by a newer model just weeks ago but is still widely available for 229 - 250.00. The camera was $400.00 a year ago...
