I tried handbrake and liked Cinematize better. My panasonic still camera does great video but uses a weird compression codec, AVCHD. I have to convert it to do editing and the conversion takes a long time.

A bunch of years ago I got a new Mac that was Apple's home video editing edition. It would digitize and let you edit video and sound in S Video from all the newest video cameras and VCRS. When finished editing you could send it out to your VCR to put it back on tape. It was pretty cool for the day.
