  hi all
  sorry if my questions are a bit stupid i know very little about video.
  So i have a avchd camera {canon hf200]
  i want to edit the video in fcp5 which i have
  i have been doing the conversion in imovie
  or alternatively i could get toast 9 and convert it in that.

  would there be any difference in quality?{between converting in toast/imovie]
  what way should i setup fcp5 to deal with my imported video?

  where is the best place to go to start learning about this stuff?

  my final aim is to have these videos on a dvd which will be sold
  and viewed on computers/tv’s is there pitfalls i should be aware of.
  thank you
  ror

  Hi Ror,
  FC5 is much older than the AVCHD codecs.
  FC supports these codecs from FC 6.
  Cheers,
  Rafael

  With FCS3 released, I don’t think FC6 is for selling now.
