    • 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.

Hi all,
I am considering buying an iMac to do mostly video editing but I can't get a clear answer on the following. I have hours and gbs of digital video taken using a Sony Hard Disc Drive camcorder (DCR-SR90E) so it is in MPEG2 format. Does anyone have this camera (or at least video in this format) and is able to edit it with iMovie or Final Cut without going through a conversion?

I would consider file format conversion if there is recommended sofware which will convert files in bulk...recommendations?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Brian.
