Anyone know what sort of encoding this camera uses?

It uses H.264, a standard format supported by QuickTime (and promoted by Apple), so it plugs in and works. And since QT supports it, so will iMovie. (Source: http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=13065&pq-locale=en_US)

Sorry, I couldn't say. Be careful buying this camera. The one I bought turned out to be the European model, HDR-PJ790VE, set up for PAL recording in spite of its data plate and the box both of which insisted it was an HDR-PJ790V set up for NTSC recording. You can't tell looking at it. It's not until you get into the camera menu in the area addressing frame rate that it becomes obvious. I guess the factory in China goofed.

I'm not sure but I can tell you the the software for the camera causes it to freeze all the time unless you use it on the lowest (worst) setting. I could not, in good conscience, recommend this camera.

I cannot honestly tell you. Because the Disk was not compatible with the camera we ordered, we could not test or use the Disk.

These cameras have Chinese serial numbers with "hacked" firmware to display English. As soon as you update the firmware to a current version, the camera will be back to the Chinese language.

Well I suppose Canon could be lying or the two techs at two different times were misinformed about the MPEG2. Since the camera hasn't been released yet, how do you know that the files are .mod? Also some sites (not Amazon) are claiming this is an HD camera. It's not, it's SD.

I just looked at the languages offered in my camera. The choices that were listed were English, French, Sapnish, Italian, and two character sets I didn't recognize. I'm going to guess one is Japanese and the other I won't guess about. I hope this helps.

Can't answer that question. This camera sucked for me, no matter the settings.

Who knows? Information on this camera seems to be a closely guarded secret. I would like to send Canon an instruction manual of my own describing what they can do with this camera.

Unfortunetly I haven't figured that out myself. I only installed the camera 2 days ago and am working out the details right now. I am going to have a friend translate the on screen menu so I can figure out how to use it better
