About to purchase but question about usb access to Sony DVD-RW camera

I am on the verge of purchase of a macbook and it would be my first mac at that. Specifically, I am looking for information on using the usb connection between my camera and the macbook. I am coming from the Windows world, and the camera software is windows only. I record my stuff in VR mode, and when I plug in via usb the windows software allows me to pull off the VRO files. Then I have another windows program that is able to read the VRO files and I can move them around (I don't edit the contents of the VROs), put transitions and then create a dvd. My question when moving to the macbook, can I still record in VR mode and then when done recording, without finalizing the disk, hook the usb cable to the macbook and it will be able to read those files? I read in other posts something similar but not definitive that it could not do this. There might be other software (ie, something call readDVD) that might be able to but could not determine, for sure, that it could do this over the usb (since I can't pull the 8CM disk and put it in the non-tray DVD drive). Or is there a better suggestion, please be kind that I don't know what is possible on the MAC.
For what is it worth, my scenario that I have put up with (because it gave me results that were adequate) on the windows side, had me record in VR mode and it gave me control over all the individual segments (hitting record and then stop is a segment) that I could manipulate individually with the windows software. I don't know enough about what is possible with the usb connection and the software on the MAC to know what to expect out of the box and if I have to buy additional software (to pull the movies off the video camera). If I recorded in Video mode, and then finalized and then hooked the usb cable to the macbook, would the resultant files be able to be read by iMovie? If so, would it be the individual segments or would it be one be movie (ie, all segments rolled up into a/many vob(s))? I want to be able to join many segments from many different disks onto one dvd. Maybe that is the crux of my question and may really be better suited for the iMovie forum rather than this one. If, so, please forgive my ignorance.

Welcome to macbook forum,
Could you post your camera model / type, so we can check that out for you in order to give you better answers.
Or you can check this link for camcorder that supported on new iMovie 7.x.x.

Good Luck.

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie to MPEG -4 Video both worked well on my iMac but will not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD RW and DVD-RW. Any suggestions?

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie using MPEG-4 Video. Both played well on my iMac but would not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs. I have tried other 'codecs' DV-PAL; DVCPRO-PAL; DVCPRO50-PAL; AIC; and finally share to iDVD. iDVD works on both my iMac and DVD Recorder but the picture is very poor with major shimmering which is unwatchable. Can anyone assist? The other codecs I used either do not pay on my video recorder or fail when I play them back on my iMac. I am at a loss as to what I can do. I am from the UK so using PAL is essential.

If the source video is interlaced, you may have problems using iMovie. It de-interlaces everything on output which can cause picture to look strange. Final Cut Pro X supports interlaced video, but it costs a lot more.
Standard DVD Players don't support H.264 or MPEG4. You might want to look at this article on transferring HD video to DVD. I wrote this article mainly for Final Cut Pro, but many of the same principles apply.

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I have an app idea project going on but I have no access to itunes connect so I can send my idea to the app developers and see what their opinion is about it.Do you know any other ways that can help me promote my idea so it can be further developed?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I got an email about recent purchased but i am really concern about that cause i didn't purchase any of them

Beware this is a common phishing scam: you get an authentic-looking email saying your account has been charged - usually a significant amount of money, to get your attention - and "click here" to confirm. Don't do that.
Check your purchase history as King_Penguin wrote. If the purchase does not appear, delete the email and forget about it.

I am quite new and haven't understand yet all about iCloud but if someone get access of my ID and password can he/she access my mails , messages, everything?

Yes, so keep it to yourself.
If someone already has it, change the password at once.

Question about Database Access

Hello,
I have one question regarding database access from Java.
What are the other ways of connecting to database other than JDBC? This was one of the question I been asked by the interviewer. He says JDBC connection can slow down the perfomance when it comes large number of transactions?
Any insight or help will be very useful.
Thanks

He may have been referring to available "persistance managers" like Hibernate or the mechanisms build into EJB containers. However, as far as I know, they all use JDBC, and any speed-up is due to caching of data as objects.

Considering Airport Express purchase, but have some questions...

Hi people.
As per title. I'm considering purchasing this in the near future, but although i understand how it works, i just have a few questions...
1) The unit has a USB port correct? I have an external HD & DVD drive, scanner and printer aswell as my iPod dock running off a USB hub. In theory, i should be able to connect a USB device to the AE to get it to work wirelessly, yes? So would it be the same if i ran the USB hub off it? (USB hub has it's own power supply too).
2) I have a 2008 Aluminium Intel Mac, all up-to-date. Am i correct in thinking all i need to buy is the AE? Obviously i have the correct equipment to connect to the internet, and the Mac does have airport.
3) The unit won't be that far away from my Mac-how reliable are the connections? Do they suffer from much interference? And how secure is the connection?
Any advice or experiences welcomed!
Dan

1) - The USB port on the AX is usually a printer only port but I don't see why it would not function with ANY other USB devices. I am using a Time Capsule as the main router with a 500 GB Seagate drive and 3 printers connected (and working!) and supporting 3 AX units. You will have to find connected printers and drives via the Sys Pref ->Network menu (Browse)
2) - That should be OK. You get the advantage of having a router firewall between you and outside. FWIW, I just sold an Airport Extreme for just under $100 on the "Bay" about the price of a new AX. Lacks an audio out port tho' but supports a USB hub system and passes AirTunes
#) - Security.... once you have set up your passwords properly (big words with U/L case, symbols and numbers) it should be pretty secure to casual evesdropping. RFI - use AP Grapher (free) to see traffic on adjacent channels and choose accordingly.
Hope this makes some sort of sense.......

Isn't that only used when a PC will not boot?
What options does booting with this give me?
Thanks

Can I please get some answers about fraudulent access to my itunes account?

Today I found three unauthorized charges to my itunes account. Following those three charges, three other unauthorized charges appeared from other software/gaming companies (NCSoft, Valve Software, and TMA). I can't get an actual person to answer the phone at Apple and I would like some answers about unauthorized access to itunes accounts. When I called my bank to report the fraud, they told me they had already received several calls this morning about unauthorized itunes charges and then larger, unauthorized software charges.
I would really like someone from Apple to address these questions, are they aware that there are problems with itunes accounts? If so, what is being done?

I had the same EXACT thing happen to me. This morning I looked at my bank account & there was a $1 charge from itunes (not unusual, except this charge did not come with an email receipt as they usually do) there there are two $49.99 holds on my account from Valve Software. I cancelled my card with the bank right away. I tried calling Valve Software and a message comes on stating "if you have a question about a charge to your bank account, press 7". Happen much??? hmmmm I left a message with no return call as of yet. I'm guessing someone hacked my itunes account.. Valve Software is a video game website that sells downloads on there as well as through itunes. Apple should immediately cease dealings with this company as they sound VERY shady. This is not the first blog I've seen about it. Now it's going to take time to get my money back & now I have to get a new card/card number. Pain in the butt because some hacker needs a thrill. jerks...
