Sony Camcorders Mac Compatible
Any suggestions for a camcorder that works with iMovie 06 on a G4?
I just got a Enverio GZ-MS100RU and a Sony DCR-SR46 and neither one of them works with my Powerbook G4 Mac without additional software. What can I do? I can not afford a G5 to run iMovie '08 So please tell me what camera will work on my G4 with iMovie 06. Or better yet, what company is nice enough to have a Mac compatible software with their camcorders?
You said: "Enverio GZ-MS100RU and a Sony DCR-SR46 and neither one of them works with my Powerbook G4 Mac without additional software." Answer: Yeah, it's true – they will not run on a G5 or Intel-chip without conversion of these highly compressed MPEG2 files, either. You asked: "What can I do? "Answer: You can use a file converter video as Streamclip. Http: / / www.apple.com / downloads / macosx / video / free mpegstreamclip.html download, free to use. No watermark. You said – and asked him: "I can not afford a G5 to run iMovie '08 So if Please tell me this camcorder will work on my G4 with iMovie 06. "Answer: All miniDV tape based camcorder video to standard definition works – your PowerBook with a FireWire port. I know – because I have a PowerBook G4 and I have a couple of miniDV tape based camcorders. You asked: "What company is nice enough to have a Mac compatible software with their camcorders? Answer: None. They do not because it is not necessary. They have not even good editors in the box with the camcorder. Even Microsoft MovieMaker is better than the application included in box.
