How can i import it from my cam (to free up space on my cam) onto my external hard drive, so that i can view it and sort it into different folders (like "Good footy" and "throw away footy" footy for example). as the title says, its in avchd format and im on a mac.

thanks a lot ++K for help!

you may also want to consider converting your files to .avi

Well logging and transferring will convert to an MOV you can watch and use, you can also label in that process and it will dump it into your capture scratch for your project file. Then, within that file everything will be labeled and you can do whatever with them.

his problem was he didnt know how to access/use his capture scratch to find the converted .mov's in order to sort them
