You have a Macbook with iLife 09 installed, but you cant open mts from camcorder  in iMovie. Do you have this promblem? Most camcorder files are in MTS format(AVCHD), some are in MOD/TOD format. Is there any software can help you transfer and import MTS files to iMovie? Of course, the best Mac MTS files Converter only 29USD.

How to transfer and import MTS files to iMovie

Step 2. Click on “Format” bar and set a iMovie friendly format in dropdown-list. You are advised to “QuickTime Movie Format” > “Apple Inter Mediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov) ” format.

Step 3. Click the “Settings” button and customize proper video/ audio parameters if necessary.  Video size, bitrate and fame rate are flexible and can be adjusted as you like.  Or set smaller bitrate to further cut down export file size. You may skip this step as well.
