Perhaps still many of you are confused about it too, hence I simply explain right here.
- Sony HDR-XR350V is a little bit different from other models for this series. It records in both HD mode and SD mode. The footages in HD mode are in AVCHD format while the ones in SD mode are in MPEG-2 format. iMovie constantly supports MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV, HDV or DV. So, videos shot by Sony HDR-XR350V in HD mode are not compatible with iMovie and a third party software is required. What makes things easier is that any format from iMovie, DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD is compatible with iDVD that supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
