- Sony HDR-XR200 is the entry-level model in the company’s new star line-up of GPS-equipped handycams. In adittion to built-in GPS and geo-tagging, it has all the trimming you'd expect from a flagship Sony camcorder, including full HD (1920*1080) recording, a 120GB hard drive, a 15x optical zoom lens, a Memory Stick slot for additional storage, 5.1-channel surround sound, an LCD touch screen, a 4-megapixel still image mode and optical image stabilisation.
- These features also appeal to a friend of mine who is a genuine videographer and he got a brand-new Sony HDR-XR200 recently. After recording several videos with Sony HDR-XR200, he was going to edit his pieces and seeking for the right editing software. However, Sony HDR-XR200 AVCHD footage is not editable in most non-linear editing software. What's even worse is, 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. Therefore, my friend, as a Mac user, had to figure out another way to settle it down. Finally, he chose iMovie HD as the free video editing software that comes with all new Apple computers. (If edit them with iMovie'08 or iMovie'09, you will need a Mac with an Intel-based Core Duo processor or better)
- In terms of the editing software-iMovie, there are three most common versions-iMovie 08, iMovie 09 and iMovie HD. The video formats iMovie HD supported are MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV while Sony HDR-XR200 supported videos are in AVCHD format using the MPEG AVC / H.264 codec. The existence of incompatibility results in need for a third software-AVCHD/MTS to iMovie Converter for Mac that can convert Sony HDR-XR200 AVCHD footage to iMovie HD compatible format.
