What Camcorder can I use with my iBook G4?

Should I be only looking at miniDV cameras or will something like the Sanyo Xacti HD700 work with my iBook and iMovie 6?

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free, requires installation of ffmpeg parts, google for it...)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • WHAT CAMCORDER CAN I USE TO RECORD NIGHT SKY EVENTS

    I SEE FILM CLIPS  ON TV OF STARS, METEORS,UFOS ETC...AND WANT TO MAKE THE SAME . WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST CAMCORDER I CAN DO THIS WITH AND TRANSFER ONTO DVD?   I  WAS LOOKING AT CANON XA 20 BUT DON'T THINK IT HAS ENOUGH IR REACH INTO THE NIGHT SKY.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello SB7,
    The XF205 has infrared recording capabilities and may be a camcorder for you to consider. From the Canon web site's description of the XF205's IR capabilities:
    "For investigative reporting, surveillance and similar projects, the XF205 professional camcorder's infrared mode produces video images that are evenly illuminated from the center to each edge of the picture area.
    An improved, diffused LED is approximately three times brighter than the infrared light used on previous Canon XF models, providing greater usable distance range in dark shooting conditions.
    Users can choose between Green and White IR recording modes according to personal preference. To prevent configuration or operating errors, the camera automatically turns off the IR LED when the user switches from infrared to normal video mode."

  • What tags can be used with Notes?

    I have been searching all over to figure out what typs of tags can be used when creating Notes for the iPod. I keep comming back to this document http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/ipod/iPodNoteReaderGuide.pdf. It is supposed to show available tags. At least that's what all the referring sites say to refer to for available tags. It seems to be a basic tutorial with not much going on. I want a broader reference so I can format my notes. Supposedly the tags are based on a subset of HTML. Well then what are these tags? Has Apple taken the original document down? ***?
    Shuttle XPC ST20G5   Windows XP  

    That's just it, if you read further down it says "You can get the full list of tags for iPod notes over on Apple’s developer connection" and it is linked back to http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ipod/. However, there is no full list of tags on their site anywhere. In the meantime I emailed the ADC to see if they know what happened to the original document. There's got to be more tags than just those on MAKE.

  • What phones can be used with the $60 monthly plan?

    For weeks, I have been getting the run-around from the employees in my local Verizon wireless store, who have on various instances insisted that that don't keep track of the specials offered on-line, I couldn't keep my phone number when switching phones, etc.  Yesterday, I was happy to finally reach someone at the customer service phone number who was pleasant and took the time to answer my questions.  I very specifically asked him about the single line plan offered online for $60 a month since I am not looking for a shared data plan and whether it would apply to, not only a smartphone, but specifically an Apple iPhone.  He informed me that it would, and that if they switched me to that plan then and there, when I logged into my account, I would be able to order a new phone and keep that plan.  The website is now insisting that that the $60 single line cell phone plan is not usable with an iPhone. 
    I'd like to get a straight answer as to what exactly I can use with this plan.  Does anyone know?

    What is the $60 plan providing you? I recommend upgrading your phone and then changing over to the Loyalty Smartphone plan for $60 a month that provides you with unlimited talk, text and 2GB data with a $10 overage charge per GB. It requires a 1-year contract extension but if you are upgrading your phone then you won't have to worry about that. Any smartphone will work on this plan, especially iPhones.

  • What camcorder are you using with FCE that's compatible

    I'd like to hear from folks so other folks know what's compatible and what is not. I know Apple has a list but it's outdated. old, and not comprehensive. By you stating what make & model your camcorder is and if it works with FCE will help a lot of folks.

    Hi Sheila.
    The Apple list causes more trouble than it is worth.
    There are possibly thousands of cameras out there but testing is so time-consuming that Apple has only tested a handful - probably all those on the list!
    I think you will find that (almost) every mini-DV camera in the world, equipped with FireWire, will work OK in FCE.
    You probably stand a greater chance of being struck by lightning than of buying a new camera that will not work.
    Having said that, some Canon owners have experienced problems - which have usually been curable.
    If you buy from a local dealer you might be able to come to an agreement that you can return the camera in the highly unlikely case that it is not compatible with FCE.
    I believe some dealers will let you borrow cameras for short evaluation periods. (I don't expect the large "box-shifters" will do this).

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading  past purchases.  It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer.  It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    As long as it's USB, any one will work (If you're only using it for your Mac, then use Disk Utility to Partition it as GUID/HFS+).

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.
