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.

casper69,
I would save the video from iMovie to a file and upload that. That limit sounds like it is specific to iMovie 09. I'm basing that on the YouTube note that says 2GB is allowed.

Imovie 09/.mts/youtube
Hi xstep,
Based on your responses and tutorial (thanks), it seems I should go ahead with my purchase of the Canon Vixia HF200? I want to use it as a family camcorder, but I also want to use it to upload 3 minute instructional videos to youtube. I have a MacAir with whatever version of OSx was originally put on the machine (sorry, not at home so can't check) and iMovie 09.
I can likely use lower res settings when doing my instructional videos, but I've read varying things on how hard it is to get .mts files onto youtube. I would also want to edit the video, which I'm guessing I could easily do once I've converted them into iMovie (.avi?)
As you can tell, am not a techie.
Any advice would be helpful.

I haven't used an HF200 (I'd like one). It looks like it is compatible with iMovie 09. See their list.
iMovie 09 will import the MTS files from the camera to a format that iMovie can handle for real time editing. You then upload your project either via an iMovie option, or by exporting the project and uploading it via YT's web interface.
I don't see anywhere on the YouTube help page where MTS is a supported format.
Here is the short story for using iMovie 09.
1.) record to the camera (in its native format).
2.) connect the camera to your Mac.
3.) startup iMovie (editor) and choose the import from camera option. Clips appear in Events.
4.) Create a project..
5.) Drag content from Events to your project.
6.) Fine tune, add effects, transitions, extra audio, etc.
7.) Export for public showing.
Apple has tutorials online via the iLife page that shows you how this should all work.
