How to import JVC TOD to iMovie

iMovie ’09 (Version 8.0) was released January 2009 as part of the iLife ’09 package. It introduced some new features and restored some features from previous versions of iMovie, including basic video effects (such as fast/slow motion and aged film) and image stabilization as well as travel map functions for marking locations where a video was shot. iMovie ’09 also introduced simple implementations of more advanced features such as picture-in-picture and greenscreening. It also improved editing (with a precision cut editor and a clip trimmer), improved support for hard drive based cameras (such as the Flip Mino), added some new titles and transitions, and added full iDVD support which was unavailable in iMovie ’08. It now has Full-Screen Library Browser via which you can find and examine all your video in one place. However, it is still lacking in several of the effects that iMovie HD 6 had, leaving out simple effects such as “lightning”. Like iMovie ’08 it is not supported on PowerPC G4 computers, although hacks are again available that will allow it to run on any G4 provided that it has a Core Image-capable video card.

However, I found many Mac users want to know how to import JVC TOD to iMovie for editing as below.

Q: Help! My JVC Everio camcorder only records in .TOD, and I can’t download videos onto IMovie!!?

I just got a new mac, and my JVC Everio GZ-HD3U camcorder (which didn’t work with my PC either) isn’t working with IMovie. It only records in .TOD and I’ve tried about seven different file conversion programs. Is there any way to record in a different format, or is there a program that can import and convert .TOD files into .MPEG or something else? And why isn’t it working with IMovie?

Luckily, a friend of mine recommended me a JVC TOD to iMovie Converter Mac which he tried very great. I download the free trial and found it’s very easy to use, and can convert JVC TOD files to iMovie formats MPEG-4, MOV, DV, HDV, etc for Mac OS. Then I bought it without any hesitating. If you have the same problem with me, maybe you can try it. Learn the details about how to import JVC TOD to iMovie! Hope to help you.
