To share the experience of converting Sony HDR-CX106E HD videos to MOV for editing in iMovie, here are the simple steps I get the 1080i videos compatible with iMovie on Mac Snow Leopard.

 

Step 1. Load Sony CX106 videos to Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac.
Connect Sony HDR-CX106 camcorder to iMac via USB 2.0 cable and transfer 1080i .mts files Apple hard drive disk.

Step 3. Convert Panasonic HS700 videos to MOV for iMovie.
Click the convert button under the preview window, and the Mac Sony camcorder video converter will start converting Sony HDR-CX106 videos to MOV for iMovie.

 

Soon after the conversion, there should be no problem editing Sony CX106E HD videos in iMovie 08 and iMovie 09.

 

Tips:
1. I notice that there is remux option on the Sony to iMovie converter. I have not try to remux MTS to MOV yet, but it may work. I will keep it updated after trying the remux option to rewrap .mts to .mov without transcoding.

 

2. If you are looking for other Sony cameras like HDR-CX350, HDR-XR550, HDR-SR101, DSC-HX5V, Alpha NEX-5 and so on, you may go to the Sony camcorder column for more information and solutions.
