lots of hmc150 questions before i buy

I'm buying my HMC150 tonight, but just a question, the company i shoot freelance for uses PPcs3, they know almost anothing about the AVCCAM codec, they shoot all on HDV or SD, should i stand by them and help them as they import it or can a retard do this?
 
CS3 doesn't support AVCHD. You'd have to transcode it to something else if they want to use CS3. You can use the free MainConcept transcoder to turn it into DVCPRO-HD. Or they could upgrade to CS4 which has support for AVCHD.
 
CS3 doesn't support AVCHD. Period. CS4 does, but as I and others can attest to it doesn't support it well. And you need to have a fairly beefy computer (I have a 2.4Ghz quadcore with 8 gig of ram and Vista 64). Until a later update that may solve this, you need to use the DVCProHD converter or wait a couple of weeks for Cineform Prospect HD v4 to come out to make CS4 a real option.

A lot of folks are reporting that the latest version of Vegas Pro is running it smoothly, however. So that is always an option.
