Convert Sony Handycam To Mac With Doremisoft Mac AVCHD Converter

Handycam is a Sony brand used to market its camcorder range. It was launched in 1985 as the name of the first Video8 camcorder, replacing Sony's previous line of Betamax-based models, and the name was intended to emphasize the "handy" palm size nature of the camera, made possible by the new miniaturized tape format. This was in marked contrast to the larger, shoulder mounted cameras available before the creation of Video8, and competing smaller formats such as VHS-C.

Sony has continued to produce Handycams in a variety of guises ever since, developing the Video8 format to produce Hi8 (equivalent to S-VHS quality) and later Digital8, using the same basic format to record digital video. The Handycam label continues to be applied as recording formats evolve.

Sony HD Handycam series can record high definition 1440 x 1080 AVCHD(MPEG-4 AVC/H.264), capture stand definition 1440 x 1080(MPEG-2), such as Sony Handycam HDR-XR350V, HDR-CX350V,HDR-CX300, HDR-XR200V, HDR-XR520V, HDR-FX1000, HDR-CX520V, HDR-FX7, GVH-D700, DCR-DVD850, DCR-DVD650, DCR-HC52, etc.

Review of BlackBerry Tour 9630

Long awaited, the RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 has finally arrived in town, and it's putting on quite a show. As the replacement to the RIM BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, the Tour offers 3G world roaming capabilities and brings a number of improvements in all three departments of design, features, and performance. While we're disappointed by the lack of Wi-Fi and other minor annoyances, the pros far outweigh the cons. It's one of the strongest smartphone offerings from Verizon Wireless, and its business customers will be well-served by this device. The RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 will be available from the carrier starting July 12, for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $70 mail-in rebate.
Features

With this capability, the phone switches automatically between CDMA and GSM networks to offer seamless international roaming--all while keeping the same phone number. In addition to voice coverage, the BlackBerry Tour supports the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA band, so you can get 3G support overseas, while working on Verizon's EV-DO Rev. A network domestically. In all, you'll get voice coverage in 220 countries and data coverage (e-mail and Internet) in 175 countries. Be sure to check the international roaming rates for voice calls and text messages before you head off on your trip: Verizon's rates can get pretty pricey in some areas, ranging from 69 cents up to $4.99 per minute. You can find the carrier's international plans here.
Pros
Design pulls the Curve 8900, the Storm, and the Bold all into one sleek package
QWERTY keyboard is like the one featured on the Bold and the 8800 series
Updated Blackberry OS adds nice design touches and brings a nice update to the older aging OS

Perfectly to solve MOD not compatible with mac with MOD Converter For Mac

What is MOD format?
MOD is recording formats for use in digital tapeless camcorders. The formats are comparable to XDCAM EX, HDV and AVCHD. JVC and Panasonic HDD camcorder record in .mod file format. MOD video can be viewed on a computer with a player that is capable of reproducing MPEG-2 video. This video can be easily authored for watching on a DVD player without recompression, because it is fully compliant with DVD-video standard.
What's kind of Problems you may meet with MOD format?
"I recorded many beautiful secenery from my long vacation in LA, I want to know if there is a way to transfer my camcorder.mod files to Youtube for sharing with my friends?"
"How do I convert my video from my Camcorder (.mod) into a common format?
I was trying to upload a video onto facebook from my camcorder, but it didn't support my video format"
"I used to use sony vegas movie studio 9 (regular) for editing videos from my JVC camera that put out MOD files. I just upgraded to Sony vegas 9 (Pro) and it wont even detect my MOD movies. Is there a codec I can download to fix this or should I just convert all my videos to a better format?"
"Bear with me because this is quite a complicated set of circumstances.
I'm a media student and a few days ago I filmed about 5 minutes of footage on a CANON FS200.
This camcorder films straight onto SD card, and because Canon hate me and want to be complicated, the film clips are saved as .MOD clips. These play fine on the video camera, the PC I have here and the Mac at school, but the clips WILL NOT for the life of me import to iMovie. Before anyone suggests, there is no alternative to iMovie, we have to use it and it is not possible to download anything new. I have converted the .MOD files to AVIs, and iMovie accepts this format, but it estimates 104 Minutes to import. Any ideas?"
From YaHoo! answers
Why these problems happened?
Different Players/Applications support different format, because they have their own code, they can not detect or analysis the format that they don't support.
What should we do?
