| Re: Can my macbook handle a HD Camcorder?
Assuming that by "HD" you mean "high defintion" then:
Yes. iMovie converts either HDV (high definition video recorded to tape) and AVCHD (high definition video recorded to hard drive or memory card) to an editable format using AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) so you're good to go.
I'm also assuming your MacBook has a firewire port. Firewire is essential for tape-based camcorders, but card- or hard drive-based camcorders use USB for importing your clips. At some stage you'll probably want an external hard drive for archive.
