I was wondering if there was a way for me to make a copy of its hard drive that I could use with iMovie.
The most obvious option is to simply import everything on the camcorders hard drive into iMovie.
Neat. Clean. Done.
Disk Utility will set about creating a disk image file of the camcorders media drive.
Once it finishes, you can unmount the camcorders drive and disconnect the camera.
When youd like access to the camcorders media (as saved when you created the disk image file), launch iMovie and double-click on the disk image file.
It will mount and iMovie will behave as if youve plugged in your camcorder.
Unlike Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro, iMovie wont allow you to directly import the.mts HD clips stored on the camcorder.
However, you can make these clips accessible by wrapping or converting them.
Wrapping them entails demuxing the AVCHD content and shoving it into a.mov wrapper, which iMovie will import and convert to the AIC format.
If that last sentence sounded like so much Hubba dubba muxa foo to you, dont sweat it.
ClipWrap can also convert to other formats, AIC included.) Another option is ShedWorxs 40 VoltaicHD.
This is a conversion utility that turns these.mts files into AIC QuickTime movies.
