I run it into a PC and then using sony’s amateurish program
convert the file to map2 – this is is MUX file so I then burn it
to a DVD and then place it in a MAC – I then use MPEG streamclip
to convert it to a dv file – I then drag it into FC Express and edit it.

Yeah, you lose quality with each conversion, but I like the quality,
it tends to be good with daylight or with halogens. However, it is
sad to watch it deteriorate with each compression.

AVCHD will probably be the future so while I’m waiting for the
software I’m becoming familiar with the Sony Sr1 and …

My suggestion for others is to wait and see.

I am a magician and I wanted new quality video for
new promo – for the most part it is working, but look
forward to new software. Sony … honestly, Sony needs
to be more supportive but the POTENTIAL is great!

Yeah, Apple may not support MTS or AVCHD; at present I convert the
Sony MTS file to an mpg2 ( a mux file ) and then convert it to a .dv file,
using MPG Streamclip – this works but tends to defeat the
purpose for buying the camera . BUT the picture quality is
still good. BUT not the raw footage that I wanted to edit.

As for PC editing software … I definitely prefer FC Express.
