You need this to convert the very highly compressed MPEG2 video to something iMovieHD can deal with (.mov, .mp4, .DV).

1) When you plug the camcorder in, the camcorder should be in “play” or VCR mode. The camcorder should mount like any other external hard drive.

2) Copy the files to your MacBook’s hard drive. Dismount the camcorder (drag the icon to the trash – don’t worry, the files will still be on the camcorder).

3) Launch StreamClip and convert the video files you just copied… Quit StreamClip…

4) Launch iMovieHD and drag the converted clips to the clips pane or the timeline.

If the camcorder does not mount, you may need to get a card reader – take the memory card out of the camcorder, place it into the card reader and got to step 2, above.

I estimate the inevitable self-likeness photograph. I do not consider for myself to be naturally photogenic and in many ways this is outside of my normal comfort zone as I dislike being the subject but I thought it would be apt to include a photograph of the photographer (loosely speaking of course) with my RHS Wisley pics.

The main pic was taken behind the Glasshouse at RHS Wisley and edited with a 60′s effect on Picnik, which is kinda apt as I was just about (I mean by literally a couple of days) born in the 1960′s. lol In case you are thinking I’m looking a bit fed up in this pic, you are doubtless right as this was my 12th attempt at a self-timer shot as my Samsung digital camera kept cutting out each time I set the blasted thing.

The bottom left is a pic I edited again with a 60′s effect with a close-up of my Reebok trainers with white Nike trainer socks.

The bottom right is another self-timer pic of me having a coffee break at the Orchard Cafe that I took with my digital camcorder as my Samsung had given up the ghost by this point and edited on Picnik with a cinemascope effect.

The pixils are all messed up. Like a lot of small blocks. How do I fix this.
