"Recently I got a Canon XA25 as gift for the new Year. I shot lots of footages and really enjoy it. I saw my friends shared his Canon XA25 videos edited in iMovie, but when I try to playback the footage (I can only found the AVCHD file in memory card), quicktime did not like to open it nor did my imovie 11. Did I miss something?"
