What is the best option buy bigasoft converter or quicktime pro to translate mts files?

I have a MBP 2.66 core duo and a canon hf200 (with a transcend 16gb class6  sd card).
I shot 90 minutes of footage and then tried the sd reader in the MBP, and even connected the camcorder via usb cable but the only files that are found are VLC or rather .mts
The MBP wont see the camcorder when linked by cable, and my imovie 09 and Final cut express wont read or import the .mts files.
So will quicktimepro open them and work smoothly? the page from apple does not list .mts as files supported.
bigasoft say they have a converter for just this solution/problem ( http://www.bigasoft.com/dvd-ripper.html )
but it costs about the same price of $30
I just tried handbrake and it worked??? but is it a functional conversion or will any imovies i try to make have coding errors from some incompatabilities?
thanks gang from a drama teacher just trying to cut loose some copies of the kids shows that they were in.

your device is on Apple's 'tested cams' list, so no manual conversion needed.

  • What is the best option to get a wireless connection please?

    Hi, I have a 1.6 GHz G5 with Tiger (soon to install Leopard).
    I currently have broadband through an ethernet cable but I want to set up wireless. My understanding so far is that I need either an airport card or an external device such as airport express (in the system profiler it says no info found under AirPort card).
    Can someone please tell me if I am correct and if so, what is the best option to buy for my G5 model?
    Thanks very much

    BD, I declare an interest!
    Look here if you would:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4229088?tstart=60
    I like the look of the one in your third link, but the only similar one I can find in the UK is this:

    but it comes with a 3 inch CD which is utterly useless to me!
    If you can confirm that the MXP2802GU2 will work for me I will buy that!

  • I was told that it takes about 10 years to outdate a MAC desktop, which I think is the case, but I have ran out of storage.  What is the best option?

    I was told that it takes about 10 years to outdate a MAC desktop, which I think is the case, but I have ran out of storage.  What is the best option?

    There is no one best for everyong.
    For most though: a dedicated boot drive. $105 Samsung 840 SSD is best in that category
    WD Black in 1 to 4TB (1-4 drives) for up to 16TB of storage.
    Sonnet Tempo Pro PCIe SSD card to boot from and boost SSD speed, as well as free up your drive bays for the other drives.
    2-4 backup sets. One or two used for TimeMachine. Two or three clones of your system. Even clone your critical data.
    And then there is external storage of unlimited size, capacity and expansion.
    Upgrade your system drive every year or two and move the current drive to use as a backup set.

  • I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
    I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
    Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
    This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • What is the best option today for an external DVD Drive self powered

    I am planning to remove the internal DVD-ROM and use the MCE OptiBay to install a second SSD in RAID 0 configuration, what is the best option today for an external DV-ROM, ideally self powered via USB or Firewire ?, thanks

    can't say I agree with the RAID 0, if that messes up or one drive dies, you lose it all. Not to mention, The SSDs made like that aren't made for RAIDs...
    The ones that can are really expensive, high end stuff.

  • What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?

    What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
    I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

    ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

    I lost my I phone 5 2 months ago what's the best option to block them

    I don't think it would really matter at this point. A lot can happen in 2 months. Did you report this loss to your carrier? If the carrier supports blacklisting phones, they probably did that. If they don't, there isn't much you can do.

  • What is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

    what is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

    There is no best per se.  All converter software does the same thing.....convert files. 
    Some are very user friendly, high tech or simple to use.  You will need to read the reviews of the ones that interest you the most. 
    I personally use several.....VidConvert, Voltaic, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate.

  • What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
    SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

  • What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

    What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
    Thank you
    p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.   

    It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
    Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.

  • What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

    What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
    I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

    MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better
