software for mac? I own a mac and already had to send back the Vado Camera. I just need to know if the built in software works on a mac.

You don't need software. Just plug it in like a jump drive and copy the video and picture files off of it and on to your computer.

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. )

I downloaded evocam, and could not figure out how to make it work with this camera.. not to say it won't, but it wasn't obvious to me.. I tried numerous settings with no luck. If you're looking for a Mac solution with this camera I would go with Security Spy.

Dear friend,Did the software make your Sony DCR-SR42 compatible with your Mac? We're looking at purchasing the Sony ourselves?Thanks.Sincerely,Mac

Yes I believe the camera interface works with the Mac using Safari. I tested it on my iPad and it worked with Safari. Once you get the splash page from the camera select Server Push Option sign in. I have 4 of these cameras and they work great.

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

Actually, the Sony HD camcorders will work with Mac OS X. You just have to jump through some hoops with some third-party freeware to get the video and audio to a workable format. I used a Sony HD camcorder from work and was eventually able to edit on my MacBook (with audio, which was the stumbling block for the longest while), then made a DVD from it.

yes the WebCam does work with a Mac, but no the software does not so you will lose some functionality such as the ability to turn the camera and use the zoom features. But they may have compatibility patches or software for it. I'm not certain

Hi, This was my biggest concern in purchasing a new video camera, and I first purchased a JVC Everio one, which I quickly learned would not be natively compatible. The people at the Apple store told me to get a Canon FS 100 (the forerunner to this model), and when I saw the FS 200 coming out, I decided to wait. It was well worth it, and it is COMPLETELY compatible with Mac, but there IS a catch. You need to be running imovie 08 or 09. My Macbook is almost 3 years old, and imovie HD (the 06 version) did not work with the camera, and when I would connect it, it would open iphoto and then have no idea what to do with my movies. Imovie 09 is a great program, and worth the money since it is easier to use than iMovie HD AND has important updates like the ability to post directly to YouTube (the older programs involved an extremely complicated process where you had to change bitrate settings, UGH!). So to sum up, this IS the camera for mac and imovie users, but know that you will need to upgrade your system if you are running an imovie version that predates imovie 08. Also, I recommend getting a card reader when you buy your memory card. I got a 16 gig card on Amazon that came with a reader for $40 and it's amazing. You just pop it in the side, open imovie, and I was able to transfer 2 hours of video in about 8 minutes. LOVE IT!!

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

I'm sorry, but I don't know if this camera is Mac compatible. I usually don't use the software and just upload files to my computers. (Windows XP and Windows 7) This camera has awesome quality and has a light so in somewhat darker places it still takes great video. I had one before that broke and I went out immediately and bought JVC again. Love this camera!!!!!

Don't need any software at all for Mac.. works very well with Photo Booth. Try it.

Can,t comment on MAC compatibility of software. I use a PC and take the SD card out and plug it to download the JPG files. I like the features on this camera especially the panorama stitch of three. Highly recommended after I killed the predecessor with fine Australian dust.

I am sorry but I haven't used this camera on a Mac. Sorry for not being of any help.

Thanks, George. I read the description that says the camera is compatible with Mac, but I wanted to know whether the webcam can override the built-in camera.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.
