Mac OSX compatible camcorder software?

Q.

A. OSX is bundled with iMovie. It can deal with a few different video file types and camcorders.

It would be better if you told us which camcorder (manufacturer and model) and which Mac. That way we can help with specific steps and cables and downloads if needed.

A new question with that detailed information will be needed to be posted.


Sony HDR-Sr5 high definition Camcorder ..good deal?
Q. so my buddy is selling his sony hdr-sr5 for $300..the camera works flawlessly and includes camera docking bay and battery do you guys think this is a good deal?

A. What do you need in the camcorder? What will you be using it for? What will you edit the AVCHD compressed high definition video with? (MovieMaker can't handle it - the new version of Sony Vegas will do.)

I would not spend my hard earned money on a camcorder that stores high definition video using AVCHD.

Here is a link to the camcorder manual...

This camcorder barely has manual audio control (you can switch between "Normal" and "Low" mic gain for loud environments) and does not have a real mic-in jack (it can only use special Sony mics in the "Active Interface Shoe". You can't use is in REALLY loud environments because the vibrations will shut down the recording to the hard drive (see page 5) and it looks like really high altitudes are not so good, either. MiniDV tape and flash memory camcorders do not have these environmental issues.

I guess for $300 it would be an interesting toy, but I'd rather save for a more useful camcorder...
