   edit your HD video in iMovie, we suggest you set your camcorder to record in   
   AVCHD 60i or AVCHD 24i or MP4. If you've already recorded videos in 60p, you   
   can transfer the    
   video directly to the hard drive of your Mac, and then burn it to a disc to be   
   viewed on a different computer or television. Also, you can convert AVCHD 60p   
   video to MP4 format using Media Converter software.\r
