Symptom - I run an Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display on Mac OS X 10.8.2. I had taken videos with my Canon VIXIA HFS10 High Definition Video Camera. I need to convert these Canon AVCHD videos into MP4 so that I can watch them on my new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. Please help.
Solution - If you want to convert the Canon AVCHD to MP4 format, you will need a Mac Canon Video to MP4 Converter to help you out. Notice that on Mac 10.8.2, the AVCHD folder has been showed as a jpg file not a package. Some of you may find many converters will not read that AVCHD file. Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is a piece of software that can read this file successfully on Mac 10.8. Hope it helps.
