• 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 am looking to get my first HD flash camcorder to upgrade to my 6 year old Panasonic MiniDV. I want something good quality but still easily compatible with iMovie and Final Cut Express. I heard most HD camcorders record in AVCHD format and it will need to be converted first before dropped in iMovie or Final Cut? Can anyone confirm this? What brands to look at and stay away from? Thanks!
