“I am having difficulty uploading avchd lite videos from my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camcorder onto my new macbook pro, when i import my avchd lite files to iMovie for editing, it says”error” I am using a 16gb ultra II sdhc card as well.any help?.”

AVCHD Lite identifies a subset of AVCHD format, in which HD-recording is limited to 720p/30. The 720p/30 video is recorded in the AVCHD 720p/60 format by storing every other frame, using a bitstream flag to tell the playback device to play each frame twice.

Tips: Panasonic DMC-ZS3/DMC-FT1/DMC-TZ7, Lumix GF1 Micro Four Thirds, Lumix DMC-FZ35/38, Lumix DMC-TZ10/ZS7, and Panasonic LX5 were the great digital cameras to offer AVCHD-lite movie mode.

Panasonic AVCHD Lite files can not be widely accepted by various multimedia device on Mac. We always need to convert AVCHD Lite files to Mac support formats: mp4, mov, etc using AVCHD Lite converter for Mac.
