Thanks to Steve...
It's worth buying his handbook. I purchased it about 2 weeks. His instructions work flawlessly. You WILL be so glad you bought this book. The main reason I joined this forum (DVINFO) is to tell you all it's a worthwhile purchase! Have I convinced you yet??

Dear Mr. Mullin:

Your guide's discussion of ... importing into iMovie all have just enough information that I feel I know enough, but not so much that I feel I'm reading a textbook.  The guide was worth every penny, and I appreciate that someone with your level of knowledge is out there to clear up how things should be done.  I read numerous books in bookstores and read innumerable online posts ... and finally bought your guide.   -bob

Steve,
OMG, what an amazing book! Lucidly written, with great illustrations. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude! Bought an HF10 and have been frantically looking for solid technical explanations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
 
Best regards,
