I've been considering this.... http://shedworx.com . I haven't used it yet. I am waiting until the end of the year to see if apple upgrades there software for full avchd support. With so many avchd camcorders coming out, its a matter of time. I use a Sony SR11 and can't wait for iMovie to fully support avchd. I import to iMovie 8, then reimport to iMovie 6HD so I can use my plugins from geethree. Sucks the audio quality is reduced. If you try this, let us know how well it works.
