What digital camcorder comes with a USB cable and has a tripod connection?

Q. I have a Mac so I am looking for a digital camcorder with a usb cable and is mac compatible.

A. Hard drive and flash drive camcorders use a USB cable, every camera and camcorder I have can be put on a tripod, I don't think that will be a problem.

Minidv requires a firewire connection.

How can I import my videos from an HDD camcorder to my Mac?

Q. I have an Hitachi HDD camcorder, and cannot import the video from it into iMovie. According to the manual, it is Mac compatible, and I can import photos from it without problem.

When I hook the camcorder up to my computer, iMovie doesn't recognize it as a camera, and I don't know what to do about it.

I am willing to download a program, should it be free...

Does anyone know what I can do to remedy this problem?
I have iMovie '08, and my camcorder connects via USB cord. I am not looking to get a different version of iMovie.
The problem has been solved with a free download of iSquint. Thanks for your help, the suggestions just didn't work with my particular camera.

A. using imovie hd

Camcorder that can be edited on a mac?

Q. I have a mac and need a camcorder that can be edited on it. I am having trouble finding camcorders that are compatible with a mac and IMovie. Any suggestions? The only specifications are that it must be digital, mac compatible, and relatively cheap ($100-$200). And please if you say firewire explain to me what that is and what camcorders come with it. Thank you.

A. ZR500. It's about 150 dollars now I believe. And it's very good in my opinion.

I need a Mac compatible HD video camera and somewhat cheap editing software?

Q. I've been looking around (with not too much luck) to find a pretty nice HD camcorder and video editing software for the Mac. I'm trying to find the camera for under $400, and the software nothing too fancy but I'd like green-screen compatibility. Anyone have any tips? It would mean a lot!

Suggestions for a simple Mac compatible video camera?

Q. I have a MacBook and a PC but want to use the Mac for video. I need something reliable and simple!

A. What is your budget?

Any camcorder can connect to any computer - but some need a cable, others need software to convert video.

Any MiniDV tape camcorder connects to almost any Mac made in the last ten years or so using a 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable. (The only exception is the MacBook Air - it has no firewire port). DV format video requires no change. HDV requires the Apple Intermediate Codec to be installed (this is a custom install using the Mac's system discs - it is a QuickTime component).

Any hard drive or flash memory connects using USB, but you need to convert the video using StreamClip.

High def hard drive or flash memory consumer camcorders compress into AVCHD. Only the most current iMovieHD or FinalCut can deal with AVCHD encoded video - and the Mac needs to have an Intel CPU.

DVD based camcorders are not worth wasting money on - and barely make decent doorstops.
