The answer would be to trash the pc computer and vista program you are using and switch to Apple, much more media and user friendly. I am sure that doesn't seem like much help for your situation, it really would make your shooting and editing experiences much more enjoyable.One other thing I use MPEG Streamclip. It is a free downloadable program. It lets you transfer .mod format into other formats. Works great, once you figure out how to use it. Not sure if MPEG Streamclip is PC friendly or not, since I am on Apple, but it may be worth looking into.

I have an iMac, and have had trouble downloading the videos too! iMovie, iDVD and the enclosed software don't work. I can get the stills, but not the video! argggh!Gretchen

OK, folks... here's the thing... all these three cameras (F10, F11, F100) record video directly in MPEG2 format.This means that the footage from all three cameras will be compatible with most (if not any) video application currently on the market. The cameras record .mod files, which are actually .mpg files (you can change the extension manually if you wish) - the video bitrate on the Canon FS1000 goes as high as 9000 kbps, and the sound is 100% Dolby Digital.In other words, you will NOT have any issues with codecs. The only drawbacks are related to editing MPEG2 files, which could be a bit tricky.

Have you tried editing any footage from these cameras yet? I am concerned about that aspect.

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

Hello K. Thomas,I have had the Canon FS10 for 2 months now and have just 'finally' been able to edit a movie successfully after much research and trial and error. However, it was very painful due to the .mod format. The camera itself is very nice, small, and simple. Unfortunately, even after converting the files to .mpg, all of the Microsoft editing and DVD burning software, using Vista, continue to give me errors. I do not want to trash the technology as I may be unknowledgable, however, it's not for the casual editor. I am returning the camera today and looking for one that is more compatible with my software. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Hello K.

not sure but I have heard it works with Imovie 08'. You may want to check at the Apple Discussions forums for iMovie.Best of luck.

try downloading mpeg streamclip from the apple web site. It is free. This program converts the files from the camera into quicktime files that can be read by Imac editing programs. It will take a little bit to learn how to do it, but once you have it is really quite simple.

Not sure if being on an older G5 Mac is an issue or not. It could be. I have an Itel Mac with a newer version of Final Cut. But maybe this will still help. I had to download a free software program called Mpeg Streamclip. It converts the files into a format that works in Final Cut. At least it works for my Final Cut Studio 2 on an Intel Mac. It is one extra step, but it works out just fine. I have edited footage from this camera many times that way. Best of luck.

I would strongly recommend class 10 SDHC cards for the EXILM. The higher speed card is going to allow the camera to empty from it's buffers to the card as fast as possible, providing the best results.

K., I am sorry, we have used the SD card to dump still shots onto instead of taking up the limited space... we have not used it for video. Typically we shoot our segments, put them to an editing program within a week and clear the memory to optimize its limited space. Sorry I could not be of more help. You may consider going to Canon's help site to see if they have a resolution.

Sorry you didn't get a manual with your new camcorder. However, Canon does supply pdf files for their products on their web site. Go to this URL and you'll find links to half a dozen pdf's related to the FS100, including the instruction manual.http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid;=2544&mod;elid=16185#DownloadDetailActAside from the lack of manual, can you share with us how you like the product?

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

I got it 2 days ago from Amazon. &gt;&gt; Is it true this model doesn't have front facing video camera? NO front facing video camera &gt;&gt;Also does this use flash memory or a mini harddrive? I did not disassemble to find out, but I can heard little noise when extremely quiet and saving large files. So, I think it is mini harddrive.

Be sure to check two things:1. What is the continuous shooting rate AT FULL RESOLUTION. A lot of the numbers for fast burst are for very low res pix.2. How many frames can you shoot AT FULL RESOLUTION. I once tried out a camera that shot 11 fps--but could only capture 7 frames before pausing to write to memory!In general, CCD sensor will take longer to process. But a Class 10 memory card will help.

I am thinking about purchasing the Matsunichi Photoblitz 8" to create a photomemory show for my husband's 50th birthday present. I want to create/include a few short video clips in addition to several still pix. How do you think the product will perform? I will use IMovie and Final Cut for the video pieces. And, I will be scanning and creating jpegs for the still pix. Also - I have a SanDisk Card Reader ... which plugs into a USB port. Is this the correct apparatus I need to load my "show" from the PC to the frame? Any comments will be appreciated.

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

Sorry not certain I am Not a mac user. Email in a few days at fttvienna@aol.com and I can help you out. At this time I am out of town and can't supply much detail. As you may or may not be aware Video software capture and processing is a complicated process. MANY MANY products are out there. I purchased something on line that converts formats and MAC type was one of the. and there are many types of programs out there Camera came with software that stores video in three formats I had no issues with Storing and editing. You also have to piece all the points you create when you use Pause feature because camera creates a separate video clip each time you pause. Software supplied with camera does handle that

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook. I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though. 1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket 2) Make the camera switch set to "play video" 3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen 4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera!

I have an HP w/Movie maker, but I thought you simply stuck the memory sticks into the laptop to download? I figured it would come with software like all my Canon cameras have and then you could burn to DVD. Did your fs200 not include this? Perhaps I'm not reading the description correctly.If it is truly that complicated (I also don't know what an 'extension' is) I may skip this one. Still, what about the picture quality? Is there a better alternative in the general price range? ($300 or so?).

For certain the Canon A1100IS handles 32 Gbyte SD Memory Cards, that's what I'm using. I also want to affirm that it will handle 64 Gbyte SD Memory cards but can't verify due to dropping my first AS1100IS into Sweetwater River and I'm sure that my 64 GByte card was in that camera. Couldn't fish it out in hopes of recovering the memory card.My wife also has a Canon AS1100IS, that's three of them we have purchased and are pleased with the results. I've had good experience repairing the A1100IS because Canon has a helpful U.S. parts department.

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"if you want a sample from the camera, you can go to facebook's Hot SpringsJazz Society and look at the u-tube videos of our Vocal-Rama event .... all6 or so of the u=tubes were taken by the camera and attached mic. Theacoustics in the Garvan Gardens Chapel aren't the best, but I thought thesounds came through reasonably well....Dave
