Is there a way to save the video that is sent to my Mac? Say using iMovie, QuickTime, or Flash?

Yes. I've done this. Just record the program to a high speed USB drive and the file will be crystal clear video you can play with VLC.

This device is a piece of garbage. I could not use it with my old NTSC analog cabel signal. I just sent if to the trash three weeks after first try.

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.

As long as you have software on the iMac that will capture from the thunderbolt port you should be able to do this. We are using it on Mac Mini's to capture video from SDI and HDMI cameras.

Yes - you take out the SD card - and put into your MAC - goes right into iMovie - or iPhoto - whatever you want - but I don't think the cord works with MAC - b/c Mac has moved from Firewire to SD card...so I guess depends on your MAC -

i use iMovie for edits. Not overly fond of the newer version of iMovie, but it makes the basic edits I need. Video everything onto SD card and then plug the SD card directly into my iMac. Upload from there and then edit away. Also use Premier, but not much. Like I said, my edits are usually really basic.

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 there, Jennifer. Are you using Windows or Mac? Do you have a program that can convert video files into different movie files into .mov .mp4 .flv .avi etc. Basically, you just have to connect this Video Camera Sunglass via USB cable that was provided to you when you bought it. If you have a program that corresponds to the movie file generated by this product - I don't remember whether it was .mov or .avi file then you will be able to see it. If not, then you will have to transfer the file onto your desktop or wherever you choose to as long as you remember where it is and then open a program that can convert this file that corresponds to your media and then you will be able to see it. Let me know if it helps or if there is something that you do not understand with my answer.

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?

Yes, the software will give you an option for a destination for the captured videos. Just make sure that the drive is hooked up when you run the software and select that drive as a destination. Depending on the speed of the connection (USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt), it may take from a little to a lot longer than to do it to your local HD. If that turns out to be very slow, and you want to do a lot of converting at one time, another option is just to save one video to your Mac's drive, and then move it to the external HD while you're converting the next movie.

Yes, it connects to the Mac's firewire port and can download footage directly into iMovie (if you want). I own this camera and use it with my Mac Mini, running OS 10.4

I just hook up the usb cable to the iMac and import directly into iMovie. Works great!

I dont own one of these cameras but Im currently borrowing one from a friend, its the 8gb newest generation. I take my video, plug it into my Macbook pro, go to iMovie, click "import video from camera" and im done.

Yes you can upload your video footage to a MAC if it has LION or above. I have to concure with others, extremely hard to fly, impossible for young kids.

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.

I'm sorry, but I don't use Macs. It produces .mov-files. Should not be a problem with Macs.

Use mpeg streamclip (a free download) to convert avi files to Quicktime for Mac.

only if you have your own software that will do that. It does not come with what is in this box. We separately downloaded the suggested program, but still have not figured out how to save the videos the kids make to view on our Mac system, let alone add sound to them. Very disappointed.
