"Lately, i have purchased Canon HG10 camera, its shooting quality is amazing and then i wanna edit those wonderful footages with Final Cut Pro 7 for making my own private collection, but only to find that the Final Cut Pro 7 can't accept my Canon AVCHD footages, is there any way to help me convert AVCHD footages into Final Cut Pro 7 successfully, thanks in advanced."
