It works best with their software. Some people can't figure it out, but it actually isn't very hard.

The only problem I see is that many editing programs don't support the AVCHD and AVCCAM technology. Right now I use Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. Can I use this program to edit AVCHD? If not what editing program would be a good program in general and one that would also support this technology? </p>
