May 28, 2012 4:00 AM in response to Terence Devlinby mafanni,Hi Terence,
the movies are in a format called AVCHD. Ican choose different quality settings, FD, FH and HQ. All my movies are in HQ.
Alternatively I can coose MP4 with 12M, 6M or 3M.

May 28, 2012 7:45 AM in response to mafanniby Ernie Stamper,Both iMovie and Final Cut Pro can log and trasfer AVCHD, but not Aperture. While I find it convenient to import the H.264 video from my DSLR into Aperture as a first step, I still transcode and take it to Final Cut to do my editing of it. It is neat to be able to view and to take still frames in Aperture and immediately add them to Aperture Albums, but as a video editor Aperture is nearly useless.

May 28, 2012 8:25 AM in response to mafanniby Terence Devlin,If you're shooting AVCHD you're shooting to Edit, as that's what the format so for, so as Ernie says, iMovie or FCP would be the appropriate apps for those. Then export to a format that Aperture can work with when you've finished editing.
A little trial and error will tell you in that mp4 works.

May 29, 2012 12:15 PM in response to mafanniby léonie,Here is a list of video formats supported by Aperture:
Aperture 3: About Video and Audio formats in Aperture: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4025
There may be more formats supported, but that is nowhere documented, afaik.
You might try to import your videos to QuickTime (or Quicktime 7) and then share to iMovie. QuickTime will convert a movie that it can open, but iMovie not, when exporting to iMovie.
