Everyone who has been recently considering buying a new video
camera should be pleased by the new iMovie '08. It now natively
supports the MPEG-2 and AVCHD formats used by the latest hard disk
equipped video cameras like the the JVC Everio series and the
latest Panasonic and Sony HDD cameras (and some new mini-DVD
cameras which use AVCHD as well) .

Looks like it does still need to convert on import, but at least we
can do away with having to use other software to convert it into a
format iMovie understands. I'm hoping that it is a general
Quicktime feature update so Quicktime Player and other Quicktime
compatible software will be able to natively work with such formats
as well.
Looks like a very major upgrade all round.
hurrah!

Wonderful news Matt.
I've been waiting for an update to iMovie to handle MPEG-2 format.
Yay ..... I might be able to do away with having to use MPEG Edit EX
to convert my MOD files from my JVC Everio HDD GZ_MG37AA - 30GB HD.
Will be interesting to see how well it converts the MOD (MPEG-2) files.
Cheers,
Ronni
