I'm looking at getting a Oregon Scientific ATC-2K Helmet Cam which records/stores .avi files on SD cards. According to their site they are M-JPEG - motion jpegs, but I contacted tech support and they said it outputs .avi files. They also said it works with iFilm on a Mac which I tried to correct them that it is iMovie.
Will I need to/be able to use something like Visual Hub or preferably a freeware to convert the .avi files to DV for iMovie or will iMovie be able to import and convert them as it does quicktime clips. I doubt that I can import directly from the card in iMovie as if it was a camcorder but am supposing I can drag and drop the files off the card.
Anyone have any experience with this, possibly even their cameras. I know the ATC-1000 was supposedly not Mac compatible and was only 15fps 640x480 whereas the new ATC-2000 is and does 30fps 640x480.
