blog.wired.com — AVCHD capable cameras are fast becoming the most popular way to record your video — the size to quality ratio is leaps and bounds above other formats. Unfortunately video editing software hasn't necessarily caught up with the latest trend in cameras, which can make editing your AVCHD videos something of pain.

I am not a mac user currently, but the only thing that kept me using the mac as long as I did was Final Cut. While I know it was not originally made by Apple, I think that it is the best semi-pro tool available under several thousand dollars (although I haven't priced it recently).

Ugh, who'd edit on Linux? That's like skiing in Clarks.

This ballooning size effect applies to the m2ts converted files referenced here. I was an original poster on the avsforum thread they refer to... we were able to eliminate the disk impact by backgrounding the mts extraction to a named pipe and aiming ffmpeg at that pipe in another process.This took the disk impact out of the equation, but the entire process is still VERY slow.

You mean like Ibm, novell and red hat don't have the man power?

I wish DVCPro HD were usable on Linux. Especially that MOST camera that capture in DVCPro HD RUN LINUX !!!

you guys are assh**es. I edit all my video via Linux and it is great. Better than all of my friends, and they use mac. We're just a different kind of people. You're just mainstreamers.

1. Not all software for Linux has to be open source.2. There are several good editors for linux.3. It's different, but once you get used to it, it's great.4. There IS a ton of interest, and its all turning out great. I can do so much more with my Linux machine without forking out money than I can on Windows or Mac. And excuse me Apple, but I really don't feel like paying almost 3000 dollars just to get 3 USB ports and a firewire port. Thats rediculous. My $800 toshiba has 4 gigs of RAM, a 320 GB HDD, 4 USB ports, an eSATA port (don't see that on a mac), a firewire port, 2Ghz, HDMI, and S-videoYou're paying for a name.

Thanks. That's getting me close. The only problem is it imported my .mts file at 2x speed. Do you have any idea how to change that? ... nevermind seems like the app has that ability.
