Can you simply play video footage by inserting memory card in card reader slot? Especially on Mac????

I don't see why not. I didn't check what the codecs were but had no problems playing the video on an old Windows Vista desktop. The wrapper is listed as MP4 on dashcamtalk (but no mention of the video or audio codec). I can check if you need to know...just need to pull the card out tonight when I get home.

Great news! I threw my PC (Windows) based computers in the garbage years ago. Thanks for timely response.

Yes I have a mac I can take the video card out and play it on the Mac. It's.mov file. I'm getting ready to by a 2nd one I might get the g so I can have the mph and gps.

yes, i just tried it out this weekend. running the latest version of OSX (10.5.2), iMove 08 captures video from the camera via firewire flawlessly. the quality is awesome.

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

After you do this, you may have some trouble viewing and editing the video on your mac, but there are several solutions. The best one I've found - mentioned in a review here - is visualhub. You can use the trial version, the full version, or isquint, and change the avi files to mp4s or dv files. It's very easy and works wonderfully! I've found this little camera to be a pleasure to use. Have not yet tried editing files in iMovie, but they look very good on the computer. )

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

Hi Matthew, Could you tell me which program you bought to convert so my Mac can recognize the hi res video? Thanks!

YES! But you may need to rig an RCA video cable with barrel type connectors. These just link two RCA (Red/white/yellow) type "male" end connectors. Mine works great, there are no direct inputs for memory cards though.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps!Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

Most newer computers have a SD slot for the memory card ,if not you can get a USB card reader pretty cheap ,most computer comewith some kind of program to look at the video's and pictures ,and most software that comes with digital camera's will work ,MAC's need to download software for HD video

I would think you can, since I've down loaded some programs--I planned to try, but my video just went bad-----That's what one get for buying used---I'm not as familiar with Mac as with Windows or Linux, Good Luck

I personally used iMovie on my Mac. I couldn't open it with any other application. I couldn't use the files with windows either. Not very happy with that, but it does take good video. All I can suggest is iMovie.

I got this cam as a gift for my parents and they have a mac,i believe running OS X. they've had no problems pulling images off the memory card

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

I think so, I downloaded video to my PC, so I am pretty sure you can do the same thing to Mac

I put a memory card in my camera and I just remove it and load it in my computer and down load the pics from the card ...there is a USB port you can also download that way...I have a Mac and no problems

Mac works fine - pop the microSD card into an adapter (SD or USB) and put that in your Mac, works without problems. Had some issues connecting the unit directly via USB (see my review for that)

No, MAC Operating system and hardware only allow certain video cards, this is not one of them
