Hi,
I have a brand new Canon HF-10 and a brand new White MacBook 2.4 gHz with integrated graphics (last years model). Although it may be funny, I don't really know how to use either one yet. I am going on a trip to Disney tomorrow and am looking for advice. I have an additional 16 GB SDHC in addition to the 16 GB of internal memory. I can't see that as being an issue. What I need to know is what the best way is to dump my footage each day onto the hard drive. I have iMovie 08 on the Mac. I want to clear the footage of the camcorder each day. I understand that the AVCHD codec can be hard to work with. What is the best way to load the files onto my hard drive each day? I intend to burn each days footage to a DVD in AVCHD format when I get home. What is the maximum time I can burn onto each dual layer DVD in 1920x1080 format? What is the easiest way to do this? I need to be sure to transfer my video onto my computer in such a way that it will not change the format or the quality of the resolution to something that will be worse when I go to burn it later.
Thanks in advance for the help.
