I have the Canon VIXIA HF R10 &amp; the PIXELA APPLICATION DISC that came with it is not compatible with the Mac. So how can I transfer the video to my Mac?

I do not know why you think it is not compatible with the Mac. The video transfer is done via USB, which I believe is compliant with a Mac. On the PC, the internal memory and the SD card load as virtual drives and then I perform a file transfer. I do not use a Mac but if I am correct then that would be the same process used.

This video transfer system works in tandem with your own projector and your own camera. Whether it is Mac compatible is dependent on what camera you are using to record and whether your camera can transfer digital information to your Mac software/hardware.

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

That's a tricky question as you are really talking about "Will my video card allow input cables from my camcorder?" The other option is whatever your camcorder records with (tape, disc, what have you) is there a way to transfer that data to the PC/MAC. Will it burn in HD? Yes absolutely. To a DVD? Not truly. You would need to have a blank BLURAY disc to get the real HD quality I think you might be looking for. The real trick is getting it off your camcorder. :) Hope this helps and if wanting some idea's try this string in Google "move video from camcorder to computer" without the quotes of course. :) Best of luck!

I am not a Mac user so I can't answer your specific question. You could try making a DVD on a DVD recorder and putting it into your MAC. Worth a try. Ray

Are you saying that it's a problem to import the video files into the Mac? I'm using Leopard and Final Cut Express 4 and want to make sure that the files created by the FS100 can be edited by FCE4.

I read that is compatible with OS X. Check out in the specifications section in: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid;=120&mode;lid=13810Also in the section drivers and downloads you can select Mac OS X and you will find the driver for leopard.

from one of the reviews I found this: MAC USERSThe CX220 claims that it does not work with MAC OS, but it does work with iMovie. What this basically means is that you cannot simply plug the CX220 into your MAC and copy files.You must first download iMovie, and then all recordings can be stored to your MAC very easily. iMovie is a great program and very easy to use. There is a great post on YouTube that is titled: HDR-CX160 directly to iMovie. This is the same method for storing videos from your HDR-CX220 to your MAC. It works very well.

Dear Dale,I have a MacBook Air and a Nikon DSLR. I got the PixelFlash USB compact flash card reader to make it easy to transfer files from my camera to my laptop without using the camera's USB cable. Now all I have to do is to remove the CF card and use the card reader on my laptop. The main reason I got it was to transfer files to someone else's computer without carrying the camera's USB cord around. So far, it has worked perfectly. It's a good buy, especially for the price and functionality.Best wishes,RayHonolulu, Hawaii

I'm wondering the same thing... i cannot even upload the file from my camera onto my Mac.. i'm confused because my Sony T90 uploaded video without any problem. Please can someone answer this question

Very easily, the projector has an HDMI input you just need to buy an adapter for your Apple device a 30 pin to HDMI adapter and plug it into the projector. Same thing with your Mac Book just get an adapter that converts the video signal to HDMI and plug it into the projector. You can get the adapters very cheap here on Amazon. Hope that helps. Also the quality is great and I do it all the time. PS. For your DSLR photos and even your camcorder the projector comes with the cables needed just plug into your camera and into the projector and you good to go.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

I've tried to upload it to my Mac and it does not recognize the camcorder at all!! It is so frustrating! anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.

My Mac is OS X 10.5.8 with iMovie 8. I received a FS300 for Christmas and just found a post re:uploading to a Mac (I will try it tomorrow after buying a SDHC card - a CLASS 10 speed card was also recommended) Hope this works!!! Getting This To Work With A Mac, November 25, 2010 By Occasional Reviewer "79o3wq48y7h" (Santa Barbara CA) - See all my reviews This review is for: Canon FS300 Flash Memory Camcorder w/41x Advanced Zoom (Silver) (Electronics) It is not obvious how to get video from the camcorder to a Mac: if you read the manual and try to install the software, you will reach the conclusion that it only works in a Windows environment. An email from Canon helped clarify things: just plug the camcorder into your Mac and you will be able to drag and drop the files. The .MOD files will be the ones you want. They need to write their manual more clearly, and make it crystal clear how to get the camcorder to interact with a Mac. Would have saved me 60 minutes, which cost me about as much as the camcorder itself.

Not sure if the USB connection would enable file transfer, but the SD cards are definitely viewable on a Mac. . The video format is H.264, which is pretty standard nowadays. iMovie can import these files, and QuickTime can play them - no issues.

Hi Jaime, this Sony CCD-TRV68 doesn't have or support Firewire connection on your Mac PC. For you to transfer videos coming from your Hi8 tapes from this camcorder, what you need is an AV connecting cable (male mini plug to RCA). In addition, you may wanted to use this Sony DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder (model #VRDMC6) for you to transfer on DVD first. Hope this helps. -Ely
