Step1. Get AVCHD files off HD camcorder to Mac
Connect the AVCHD camcorders to your MAC with cable(USB/WiFi). Select mode of camcorder such as PC/Computer mode. It is desirable that you copy the videos to your MAC's hard-drive before converting or editing it. iMovie will automatically detect when you have a FireWire camcorder connected. If you see the message No Camera Attached, make sure your camera is turned on and properly plugged in to your computer via a FireWire cable and that your camcorder is set to VCR, VTR, or Play mode.

Step2. Download iFunia AVCHD Video Converter
Here we use iFunia AVCHD Converter to show the AVCHD video conversion process. In addition, this AVCHD Converter also can convert hd (high definition) videos such as mts, m2ts, tod, ts, mod to standard videos including avi, mp4, wmv, flv, mpeg, rm etc.

Finally, click the "Start" button. The Progress bar shows the status of the converting task. The program will prompt you when the converting task is completed, then click OK. Do you find this valuable?
