So.. I purchased a canon hf100.. Been playing with it the last few days. I imported the clips from my camcorder to imovie but how do I export to a web format so I can have family watch the clips and also how would I go about burning a dvd in top quality and watching it on tv?


Thanks!

First (before you import your media) you must go to preferences and make the right setting: export 1080i media to 1920x1080 (if you really want everything, but if you dont have enough space choose big, or something like that). Now import your movie, edit it and go to share,export movie. Make the right settings for the internet (you'll understand it, whenever it's compatible with youtube). Then for the 1080i you must export it through quicktime. Now this I never did, but i'm sure after using the help function and some searching on the internet, you'll figure out what the best settings are. Then burn them with iDVD. Remember to look at the settings before you begin importing. If you've got a blu-ray burner (an external one, from lg or lacie) you should use toast, it can burn with blu-ray. There you'll find better settings I believe.

quality looks alright to you? I have not burned any dvd's yet. I was trying to do video playback using hdmi but I noticed the hdmi port on the camcorder is smaller then a standard hdmi cable.

My HF100 works great with iMovie 08. I didn't load any of the Canon software. PnP. Sorry I can't offer suggestions.

Hi there,

You don't really need the Canon software.

Intel Mac? AC brick powering camera? Both necessary....

I prefer to read the card in a card reader instead of bothering with powering up the camera.

Cheers!
