This will slightly downgrade your file, but it somehow sorts out the problem of interlacing. Apple and Canon both write that this model IS compatible with iMovie, but it is not entirely true when shooting at 50i. I hope software will catch up and Apple will release an update to iMovie to correct this problem for PAL countries! I still haven't figured out the best settings for saving on iMovie with this new camera so I'm not sure if the quality could be even better.
