I went with the Brite-View CinemaTube instead and I am very happy with it. The only problem is you can't use the bittorrent feature with an HFS+ drive. But that's a non-issue for me. Otherwise it works great. And with the new firmware due out any day now you will be able to copy files from you mac to the HD connected to the CinemaTube. I haven't yet used the streaming but it's a cool feature th Asus doesn't have. I use it to play avi and mkv files mostly. Cool device and mac compatible. Hope this helps.

The Asus web site provides no answer to either hard drive format compatibility or networking compatibility with ANY type of computer. That's what's holding me back. A couple of 1 TB drives formatted HFS+ and networked iMac and Macbook Pro laptop, and I refuse to take the plunge unless there's documentation somewhere. If you find it, please post!

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.

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.

If you download a free program named Handbrake, you can export the video straight to the Mac using the provided USB cable. Otherwise, you can only transfer the .jpg files. While Sony says it is compatible, it's isn't completely.

I think so. I didn't installed them in Mac. But the disc came with it says so. Also, I successfully transferred the videos to my colleague's Mac.

I have it, I bought it because I remember reading something about it working with a mac but i tried it today and it doesn't work and i have a new macbook pro. i tried to copy an old vhs tape and the mac didn't recognize it and either did imovie or roxio.

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.

I don't have a mac, so can't say. But if you have the HDMI cable for the mac it should be fine.

I just bought this for a Mac. You need a Mac with an Intel core duo or core 2 duo and imovie 09. Had a terrible time getting the mac to recognize the files, finally discovered you have to lauch imovie before connecting the camera or inserting the SDHC card in the computer. As long as you do that, the movies import into imovie beautifully. Spent hours figuring that out, seems the tech support people at Panasonic should have known that. You can not put the card in, launch imovie, and import like you can for pictures in iphoto. I had it packed up to return but discovered it by chance on trying one more time.

You need to convert the AVI files to MOV format and the Apple iMac needs to be able to play HD. This is a great product by the way.

Should work fine on mac and I believe that you can play .mov files through it. On my pc I have to convert the file from .mov to mp4 or other playable list. Downloaded software and have no issues.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

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

It's no problem. The included software doesn't launch automatically with Mac, you have to install it.But on my MacBook, I don't bother with the included software. Just drag the files to your Mac and you can play them in QuickTime, or import them into iMovie to string together and make movies.
