Transcode TiVo HD shows to AIC MOV without rendering for iMovie editing

I have some TiVo recording shows. And I intended to bring the TiVo HD shows into iMovie for editing and then share my movies with my friends. But iMovie don’t support TiVo files. I figure a conversion is needed. I tried VLC to make a .mov file without luck (don’t know how to set up the output specs). When searching google, I find I need a mac TiVo to iMovie Converter to transcode TiVo to AIC MOV or H.264 MOV iMovie can recognize. I tried several TiVo to iMovie Convert sotfwares, And only the program from Pavtube Studio works for me. With PavTube, I easily transfer TiVo shows to AIC MOV and import it to iMovie for editing freely.

For helping folks who wanna import/edit TiVo,TiVo HD,TS TiVo shows on iMovie8/9 with HD Quality, here i will share my experience in how to convert(trascode) TiVo HD shows to iMoive for Editing?

Before transcoding TiVo shows, you need to transfer recorded TiVo shows from TiVo DVR to your Mac. To transfer TiVo shows to PC, you need to use a TiVo Desktop Software for Mac. When your TiVo is connected to your home network, Mac TiVo Desktop provides you with a list of available shows for transferring to your Mac.

How to convert MTS to Apple ProRes codec for Final Cut Pro/Studio?

ProRes 422 is a standard-definition and high-definition lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production. It was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2 and is comparable to Avid’s DNxHD codec which has the same purpose and uses similar bit rates. Both are DCT based intra-frame-only codecs, and are therefore simpler to decode than distribution oriented formats like H.264.

How to convert MTS files to Apple ProRes format for Final Cut Pro(FCP) on Mac?

Recommend you Pavtube AVCHD MTS Convert for Mac. With this AVCHD camcorder MTS files Converter, you can transfer MTS files to Apple ProRes422,4444 for FCP, AIC(Apple Intermediate Codec) for Final Cut Express, QuickTime Movie format like DVCPRO HD, DV-PAL, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, DVCPRO-PAL, DVCPRO50-PAL,DVCPRO50-NTSC, Avid DN*HD format for editing smoothly and other popular format like mov,mp4 ect.

Step 1. Install and run Pavtube MTS Convert for Mac and Log MTS files to this mts converter.

Click on “Add” to import source files, browse to the drive and click “Choose”. You do not have to open the any of the folders. In preview window you could view the video and take snapshots. When the box of Merge into one is checked, all selected videos will be combined together as one output file after conversion.

You can click “Edit” button to perform edit functions such as crop, trim, flip, effect, watermark and audio replace. To eliminate interlacing effect, simply check Deinterlacing box under Effect tab.

Step 2: Set Apple ProRes422 Codec as output format.

Click on “Format” bar when you’d like to specify an output format. Apple ProRes 422 can be found in .

Click “Settings”; if you want to further customize video and audio parameters such as video codec, audio codec, frame rate, bit rate, video size, audio channels etc. Do not forget to click on “OK” to confirm your settings. In Export box you could specify destination for the converted file.

Step 3: Start converting MTS to Apple ProRes 422 for FCP.

Click on “Convert” button to start transfer mts to prores codec.After conversion you can click the “Open” button to locate converted files and log ProRes 422 codec video files to FCP, Final Cut Studio.

PS: While Final Cut does not edit AVCHD natively, it is still a simple procedure to utilize the AVCHD footage. In Final Cut you would open your log and transfer window and import the footage as ProRes 422 which, while it creates larger files, is a great codec to edit with and I do so with most everything.I suggest you purchsed Pavtube MTS Convert for Mac, because compressor is very slow and Final Cut handle AVCHD files when it finds them in their original file structure (either by connecting the camcorder or using a memory card reader), not isolated .mts files. You don’t need the biggest and best Mac Pro and just either Final Cut Studio 2 or 3 will do just fine. I would suggest having a minimum of 4 gigs of ram which is the most FCP can utilize anyway at this point.
