Just that capturing in any imovie above HD6 it does drop frames so that so called editing is easier. ... <snip> ...
For example, i filmed Roger Waters using panny DMC 7 AVCHD and just took the files and converting them to .mov files or quicktime files without lose of frames using Voltaic.
Is that a known fact, that capturing in >iMovie 6 causes dropped frames? When capturing with iMovie, the footage is transcoded into AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which can then be edited by iMovie and/or FCE/FCP. As far as I know, that process does not result in any dropped frames. I've never experienced any problems capturing in iMovie 9 and using the resultant files for editing in iMovie 9 or FCE. I have used Voltaic as well, for when I only had the .mts files and not the entire AVCHD folder structure (which iMovie needs)and that works well too. My understanding is that Voltaic is doing the same thing, transcoding to AIC.
