What programs do you use for HDV?

Question

Which applications do you personally prefer for editing HDV files (m2t)?

Do you like to keep the same format (m2t) or convert to a different format?

Answer 1

I use iMovieHD or FinalCutPro... The files stay in HDV format until the project is done and I export to MP4 or .mov or .avi with different compression amounts depending on what the next step for the footage is (burn to DVD, upload to YouTube, Upload to vimeo, keep on the computer for viewing on HDTV, export back to HDV camcorder...)

Answer 2

I use Sony Vegas which imports Mini DV format to .m2t files and can export in any format you want it to..
