REVIEW BY: adonian Reviewed Jun 21, 2008

Dont believe other reviewers saying that there is no software to edit the 'mts' files that Canon VIXIA HF100 High Definition Camcorder camcorder outputs. I use Ulead Video Studio 11+ and it WORKS PERFECTLY. My MacBook automatically recognizes the avchd card as an actual camcorder and imports the files with NO PROBLEMS.AVCHD MTS files ARE editable. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TELL POTENTIAL BUYERS NOT TO PURCHASE.As for the camera, I really like the 24p mode, my kids want to make their own action movies and 24p looks almost real.

Beware. Canon VIXIA HF100 High Definition Camcorder camera writes out ''.mts'' files only, for editing and video formation use on a PC. None of the major edit programs recognize these ''.mts'' files (even though some say they do, such as Sony Vegas Pro 8b) but rather recogize Sony's AVCHD ''.m2ts'' files. And renaming doesn't work. They are not the same format. Then the bundled Pixela Imagemixer 3 only exports to one format, a low resolution mpeg-2 file. After 4 days, and 10 phone calls to various tech support people including Canon, no one can offer a solution at this time. There is a program called VoltaicHD Converter 2.0 for $30 that MAY help to solve this problem. Virually all tech support people say, ''maybe we will upgrade to support ''.mts'' in the future.

Adonian is correct, Bob is wrong. Maybe stop using bargin bin one the chaep software there Bob...Yes, the Canon writes to the card in .mts. Just like the Panasonic SD1/5/9 does and it is recognized by Nero 8, Pinnacle Studio 10/11 and Ulead Visual Studio 10/11. How do I know? I have all 3. For quick edits and renders I use Nero Vision, of all 3 it is the fastest to convert to SD-DVD and Blu-Ray. It also has amazing quality. If you are using Sony Vegas you should have bought a Sony but since you didn't all you have to do is import the .mts in using Vegas pro and Canon VIXIA HF100 High Definition Camcorder will automatically convert the files to .m2ts. I verified this by downloading the trial and checking it out. Overall, this camera rocks and I am thinking about purchasing another one.
