Mac Compatible Panasonic Camcorder Videos-Easily Play/Edit TZ10/TZ7/FX75/FX70 AVCHD Lite Videos on Mac
Many of digital compact cameras made by Panasonic, such as the DMC-ZS3/DMC-TZ7, DMC-FT1, DMC-FZ35/DMC-FZ38, DMC-FX75/DMC FX70 and DMC-ZS-7/TZ-10 offer 720p video recording with effective frame rate of 25 or 30 frames/s in a format called AVCHD Lite. This AVCHD specification supports 720-line progressive recording mode at frame rates of 24 and 60 frames/s for 60 Hz models and 50 frames/s for 50 Hz models. Compared to HDV 720p, AVCHD uses higher data rate (up to 24 Mbit/s VBR vs. 18.3 Mbit/s CBR) and a more advanced compression format (AVC vs. MPEG-2).

Most of us would choose DMC-TZ10/TZ7/ZS7/FX75/FX70 AVCHD Lite as the recording mode, as it provides high quality videos. However, the compatibility for AVCHD lite and Mac is not very good, it is not easy to read/play/edit movies in this format on Mac, as it requires high configuration to handle DMC-TZ10/TZ7/ZS7/FX75/FX70 AVCHD Lite videos. While looking for the best way to read/edit/play Panasonic AVCHD Lite videos on Mac OS X, I find Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac help making the playing/editing easy and smooth.
