I just got an iMac and started importing my Canon HF100 AVCHD files into iMovie. I was disappointed to find the video quality of the resulting MOV file was highly pixelated compared to the original MTS file and the file size increased tenfold over the original MTS file.
After searching this forum, I used Clipwrap to rewrap the MTS files into MOV files. I was pleased to discover the rewrapped files were only slightly (about 10%) larger than the originals and the video quality was as good as the originals. These rewrapped MOV files are recognized by iMovie with no importing required.
Is anyone else using this workflow? I am having to manually adjust the time and date of the rewrapped MOV files in iMovie to match the original file. I would appreciate if someone knows a workaround.
Also, can someone explain the difference in Clipwrap output formats between Rewrap and AIC? They both produce MOV files which look identical in iMovie, although the AIC files are about 3x larger than the Rewrap files.
