So you just have a BD-ROM drive but without Blu-ray playing program like Power DVD9 installed on your PC? Actually,you needn’t waste money on this costly BD playing software anymore, the free??media players like VLC, Media Player Classic Homecinema, etc. are able to play??your Blu-ray movie successfully after converting Blu-ray to MKV.

How to make Sony HDR-SR1 MTS footages editable in Final Cut Express?

June 8th, 2010

If you are Mac fan, Sony Handycam is not a best choice when choosing a camcorder for purchase. Basically, the HD camcorders shoot footages in AVC/ H.264 MTS format, which is not editable in most non-linear editing software. Although the latest version of Sony Vegas (published by Sony) is capable of editing MTS format, it is only designed to run on Windows Platform. Mac users have to figure out another way to settle it down. Videographers would see FCP or FCS as useful tool for audio and video editing, for amateurs who prefer to do some simple editing to their HD footages, FCE (Final Cut Express) is a better choice. This guide is written for Mac users that meet difficulties in importing Sony HDR-SR MTS footages to FCE. Why should the MTS files can not be loaded in FCE while Apple made it clearly that the Final Cut Express 4 work with AVCHD files? Surely FCE4 handles AVCHD footages shot in 1280*720 and 1440*1080. So when your footages are shot in 1920*1080, you need to convert the MTS to editable format for FCE. Hope the following guide helps.

Download the trail version of Pavtube MTS/ M2TS Converter for Mac from here if you would like to give it a shoot. The trial version converts videos with watermark on the screen and you are not advised to test with smaller video files in order to save time.

Step one. Run Pavtube MTS/ M2TS Converter for Mac. Click
