I have in the past mistakenly felt some kind of loyalty to Sony products. No more, to anyone. No wonder they are a record label too.

I realize this is an annoying aspect, but is there any technical obstacles to doing this? What do you use then? Hmm, though you just said it was not possible. Does anybody know for certain? You can conceivably use those if you can find software to rip DVDs to your computer …. Am I understanding that it may not be a problem if some sort of special USB cable is purchased?
I finally did get mine working only because I was fortunate to have a windows machine. I will include high level steps to how I got it to work. I understand that people may or may not have both MAC and Windows machines but for those who do hopefully these steps will help. File extension will be mpg 5. Start Nero and pick Nero Recode 6. Add file, click next 7. There is a icon to see settings 8. Put check mark for expert mode 9. One of the options will have a place to put a checkmark for QuickTime compatibility Now take this mp4 file to the MAC machine That seems like a general policy of Sony not to support Apple.
Now Sony puts the blame on Apple, and Apple puts it on Sony. Bottom line for me is that it should really be up to the manufacturer of a device to ensure that it works with a Mac.
Having said all that, there is a cool programme for the Mac, VisualHub , that eats and converts to most formats. Again, not totally free, but nice piece of software if you work more with video. Thanks for the comment and idea Desperado.
I did the ffmpegx thing, but still did not end up with any audio. Am I doing something wrong here? The video is converting fine, just no sound. Thanks for any input! When I had that problem it was cause i was doing mpeg2 to. Dunno if your problem is similar. For someone like me, who just wants to shoot video and play with it in iMovie…even the Apple site is of little assistance.

The Canon MD range ZR range in some countries plugs straight in to a mac via firewire and downloads into iMovie without any trouble at all — plug and play at its simplest. Quality seems great for something that was half the price of a Sony.
As for downloading various odds and ends.. Why do you think I use Macs? Because I appreciate their elegance and simplicity — and B: I helped a friend with a camcorder problem and we ended getting a Sony tape on to work wit his MacBoook.

I also own a Macintosh computer. Unfortunately the camcorder is not compatible with Macintosh. My camcorder operating guide tells me that to use the camcorder connecting with a Macintosh I have to apply the compliant software on http: When I rang Apple technical support they informed me that I would have to transfer the files by running the software. Given that Sony advertises this software to enable owners to use their product I turn to you for your assistance.
I would be enormously grateful if you could assist me. It is very frustrating having treasured footage of my daughter on camcorder and not being able to use it. Thanks for all the information here. I picked up a DCR-SR42 at the camera shop on Friday, and without asking for more specifics, I took the recommendation of the salesperson which said just use the USB with the mac, it will work just fine.
They are VERY knowledgeable. Check it out for something fun. Ever wonder why they cost more than most other brands??
Errr … while Apple produces a great deal of software including a key piece in this discussion thread, iMovie the vast majority of software available on the Mac is written by third-party developers. Just want to clarify before I try to find this download and buy it.
So I just bought the Sony Handycam hdr-cx7 yesterday. Anyone know which if any HD cam I can get to work with my mac? They seem to know everything about what works with what. And then upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2 which works with avchd. I hope it works for you too. I have the Sony SR The picture and sound quality are stunning. Same problem about extracting the video…. Apple until recently sold it online in their store but not any more. That probably translates into dollars although it should be more than dollars if you believe in that concept of exchange rates.
I just bought a card reader…download my video into a folder and the log and transfer in FCP. Make sure that you have the update from Final Cut Pro 6 which is 6. Handycam hdr-cx7 and Mac Works for me.

If you want to try it out, download Voltaic and it will give you 10 free clip conversions so you can see if it works on your system before you pay. I downloaded Voltaic a few days ago demo and just using the mac pro via memory stick got the footage into imovie but the quality was bad. Real skippy tech term? Also desaturated a bit. Val do you think the extra step of downloading to the pc first would improve qual? I would like to use imovie for quick projects without the quality lose.
I had to tell them that iMovie now supports the format. Just purchased the SR8, and still waiting for the shipping. Have not purchased a computer for editing thus far. Just really simple editing of family vacations and such. On the edge of a quad core for speed or the new Macs that just came out for software reasons. In the import window I can see the video play, but when I try to import it, 10 sec. I just recieved the same handycam from a friend asking me to put it onto dvd for him.
I was like sure, piece of cake, connect it, copy the mpeg files, put it into iDVD and burn. These handycams are shit, i say stick to old trustworthy tape. The re-vamped iMovie saw the camcorder and is in the process of importing the movies directly to the program. Just an FYI, but it seems to be fixed.
