Canon HG10 MTS to Mov at DVinfo.net

Jemore Santos · March 21st, 2008, 09:41 PM

Hi guys I'm sorta in a pickle...

A client has given me his camera, the HG10 PAL camcorder, he had shot something in SP mode but the problem is I have nothing that can ingest that, I know Imovie can capture sony AVCHD stuff but I can't seem to do anything with these clips, I have the latest Imac with the latest version of FCP.

Is there a program I can download that can help me convert this to mov?

I've also tried looking for threads about this but nothing....so please help

There is no "capture" with AVCHD. It's just a data transfer. What are the specs of your iMac?

it is the imac 2.8 Ghz, running 2 gigs of ram, running leopard and I have FCP 6.0.2. ingest/transfer, point is I can't read the .mts files, not on FCP, Imovie, Mpeg stream clip. nothing

Is that an Intel Mac?

yes it is, the client had the camera set on SP mode, in 50i

I know there are serious issues with AVCHD and non-Intel Macs, but yours should be able to handle it. Apple Support shows the PAL version HG10 to be compatible: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014

My mistake; it is indeed a "capture and convert" scenario. Hopefully somebody will chime in with something that's actually helpful for you.
