I have a neat JVC Everio HDD based video camera. The quality is great but sadly I cannot edit video on my preferred video editing tool (Apple iMovie). Apple's iMovie assumes that all video cameras produce their output in DV format and does not seem to be able to edit anything else. It cannot edit MPEG2 at all, quite why JVC chose a format that is incompatible with the world's most popular video editing software baffles me!
I wonder, can I use transcode to turn that MPEG2 data into DV data so I can quickly import it into iMovie in the format that it expects. Any suggestions? Thanks.
