"I was able to import my Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 mpeg2 files to iMovie, and it looks and sound fine. However, when I upgraded to Lion, I can use iMovie to view my source video on my laptop, I can see them but without audio." -Excerpted from Apple Support Community.
Do you also suffer from kinds of problems in importing your shootings from Sony Handycam to iMovie?
In fact, although Panasonic HDC series, Sony Handycam series, Sony HDR series and Panasonic Lumix DMC series are fantastic high-end camcorders for capturing stunning pictures and movies, most of their recordings in high-definition AVCHD MTS/M2TS format are not supported by iMovie.
