Recently, a record number of consumer HD camcorders have burst onto the scene. As a superior HD camcorder, JVC Everio GZ-HD7 is recognised for its nice manual features, high-quality audio and good quality of low-light video. As a JVC GZ-HD7 owner, I always meet some friends who have the head issue of editing JVC GZ-HD7 TOD on Avid Media Composer, iMovie, Final Cut and some other editing software.

Today, I meet a guy who is also annoyed this problem on Facebook, and in the process of our chatting, I share my experience of converting and editing TOD files with a program Aunsoft TOD Video Converter for Mac. After his trial converting and editing, he told me that many people are eager to get such a program and I should write something to share with all over the world.

So now I am here to share my experience of converting and editing JVC GZ-HD7 TOD footage with Mac Aunsoft Video Converter in a guide way.

Firstly, connect JVC GZ-HD7 to Macbook or iMac with USB Cable and transfer recorded TOD footage to hard drive.

And an option of deinterlacing lies in the “Effect” section, which allows you to remove interlacing images by ticking the checkbox of “Deinterlacing”

At the bottom of interface, the checkbox of “Merge into one file” can be ticked to join several loaded TOD files into big one. And then click the big button “Convert”, this JVC GZ-HD7 TOD to H.264 MOV conversion will be started.
