Does Sony hdr-sr11 work on a Mac?

I can't seem to find any straight answers as to whether I've boufght a great camcoder which I can't actually use, or if it can actually be used on a Mac with iMovie. I was under the impression iMovie 08 was the stipultion, I have iLife 11 but nothing really happens when I plug in the camcorder. I select 'Connect USB' on the unit and the HD appears on the desktop. I can seee the stills as jpgs but the rest (presumably the movies) all seem to be exec icons which are a PC file. Is there a way of importing the moview to edit or do I list it on eBay!!?

Just realised, it does work!... you have to have iMovie open - I thought it's launch it when conected.

Sony HDR-SR11 /AVCHD/NON-INTEL MAC/HELP

I have called both sony and apple tech support and both offered little help today.
I have a Sony HDR-SR11 that I shot some HD content with. The computer registers that the camera is there as an external HDD. Sony's FAQ suggested that I save the AVCHD file to my HDD and it should work....NOPE
I hooked it up to a PC and installed the software it comes with and I was able to view my files but not export them into a normal format.
I have 2 sets of files one set is .m2t and the other is .mts both say they are Unix Executable files..***!
I have a Power MAc G5 running Leopard and Final Cut Pro 6 I ran the software update and it says that as of today 100% up to date yet it says that FCP should be 6.0.2 mine says 6.0
Apple support said that it may not even work on a non-intel Mac.....HELP
anyone get this to work, supposedly Imovie work s with it but the files are grayed out in the menus for imovie so I dunno all I know is I need this footage off the camera ASAP.
Thanks

I came here actually looking for a different solution and not the one I'm about to say... but I will tell you that the new iMovie will import the video straight off the camera (in either 960x540 or 1920x1080). It's not ideal, but it works.
In fact, I'm doing so right now, but I came here hoping there might be news of a new fix so that FCP will import it directly (it will not, log & capture will not do it, just so others are clear on this).
That said, the video off the camera looks very nice. I'm still happy with the camera, even if I do have to do one hoop jump before I can edit.

How to make the Sony HDR-HC3 work w/ you Mac.

So I bought this amazing camera yesterday only to find out that true to form, Sony does NOT include ANY cables to transfer video from the tape to a computer (windows or Mac). They only supply a usb cable which only transfers pics from the memory stick.
It does work! NO you don't have to do anything special to the settings as I've read in other posts. All you need to do is go to your local electronics store and buy a 6 to 4 pin (Firewire to iLink (Ieee) cable. The iLink port on your camera is actually at the front of your camera next to the lens (there's a hard to see cover).
Open iMovieHD plug in the firewire/iLink cable. iMovie will instantly recognize your camera. If you have it camera mode, it will record. If it's in VCR mode, it will import the video.
Once the video is imported. SAVE your movie immediately because as soon as you do anything, it crashes. Open iMovie back up and the movie is there, edit, play, etc.
However I'm getting FinalCut tomorrow. iMovieHD just isn't that great of a program after all.

I have the MSI DVD DR-8A and i've already burnt over a dozen HD-burn CDs without any problem
My only road block was to find how to use it with nero (it is presented as a different type of disk), but after i read nero doc and chose the right option, it has been flying. I'll report on my media later (i dont have them here).
Edit: I've used
- FujiFilm CDR 80minutes 24x
- Memorex CDR 80 mins 48x
No problem with either, burnt at the maximum 24x HD burn speed.
My only gripe with HD burn is that it does not allow any overburning. Not a bit over the 1400Meg limit. not a big problem, though.
Also, be cautious on WHAT you burn. CD are not a very good archival method. They can degrade quite fast and i would bet that HD-burn, being more precise, is more sensitive to those degradations too.

Sony HDR SR11 Questions

I recently bought the Voltaic converting software so I could convert and edit my clips in FCP 5.0.4 and have finished my edit, but I was wondering what is the best way to export this movie and get HD quality out of the footage that I filmed on my Sony HDR SR11?
Exporting the project to .mov clearly isn't HD quality. Is there anyway to export my project in a way that will be closer to HD quality?
This is my first time to use any type of HD camera.
Thanks

If you Control-Click the Sequence in the Browser it will open the Sequence Settings window where you can modify the settings to match your clip settings.
After you have done that it might be a good idea to double-click one of the clips in your sequence to load it into the Viewer. Check the Motion tab to see if any distortion has been applied to your clip. If it has, you can remove it there. Then Cmd-C to copy this clip, select ALL the clips in your sequence and Alt-V to bring up the Paste Attributes window. Make sure "Distort" is checked and click "OK". This will undistort all your clips.
To work in HD I would recommend using [Toast 9|www.roxio.com] to convert your AVCHD files to a format which can be edited on your Mac. You'll need to confirm Toast is compatible with your Mac. [Voltaic|www.shedworx.com] can also be used but Toast is much faster and offers more conversion options.

IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

Hi,
iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
System Specifications:
Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
4 GB RAM
Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
Thanks!

With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

CS4 Bridge Crashes When Sony HDR-SR11 MPG Selected

Greetings all,
I'm brand new to CS4 moving from CS2 and have not used Bridge before. I use a Sony HDR-SR11 cam. If I try to access the cam hard drive through bridge or open a folder with MPG files from this cam, Bridge CRASHES. I get the "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close"--Send Error Report/Don't Send pop up window.
If I try to open an MPG file from this cam that has been processed by another program--burned to DV then ripped back to MPG using other software, the file works just fine.
I have tried opening the cam's MPG files...
Directly from the cam drive -- crash
From files copied from cam to computer hard drive with Windows Navigator--crash
From files on computer hard drive placed there by Sony cam software.
The MPG files work fine in Premiere.
I have installed all the Adobe Updates for CS4.
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS!

IMovie '08 7.1.4 breaks Sony HDR-SR11 AVCHD Import

Back in August I upgraded to iMovie 7.1.4 and I can no longer import files from my Sony HDR-SR11 AHCHD. IMovie recognized the camera, opens the import window, begins the import but at the end of the import the following message appears in a dialog box "An Error Occurred During Import: There was a problem importing 1 of 1 clips from your camera. Please review the imported movies carefully." No movie loads. Has anyone else had and resolved this problem? Oddly, when I upgraded to Final Cut Express 4.01 the same problem occurred so I use FCE 4.0 instead. I am really interested in determining why these upgrades broke the import with my camera.

I was using Sony HRD-SR12E and facing same problem "An Error Occurred During Import" when importing long clips. Problem solved with directly connect the USB2 into my InterBased iMac. Thanks!

OneStep asking for firewire connection-my Sony HDR-SR11 doesn't have firewire port. Help.

The question says it all. I wanted to use OneStep to move all my home movies to a DVD, but iDVD is asking me to connect via firewire and my video camera-a Sony HDR-SR11-doesn't have a firewire port. I don't want to go through the extra step of importing into imovie because that will take a ton of time. Any other suggestions?

Only 2 options that come to mind. The first is to do a one step from a movie (as opposed to a one step from from the camera) within the file menu in iDvd. And yes, you will have to export first from the video editing app (iMovie / FCP) prior to using iDvd's One Step. No way to avoid this when using apple's iLife.
The other option is to use a hardware approach; something like Sony's Dvdirect that requires no PC and burns directly to DvD-R at the touch of one button. Menus aren't as nice as iDvd's but the quality is very good. Try ebay if this option appeals to you. I picked up one for about the same price as iLife software.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

Probably.
"iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD."
microMV is recording in MPEG-2.
Bring your camera to your Apple dealer and try it out.

FCE and Sony HDR-SR11

Does anyone know if FCE supports Sony's new HDR-SR11?

I can't see why not. I just got a MAC on Tuesday and have FCE 4, and I am using a Sony HDR-SR8, the older model (got it just last August), and it works just fine. Don't know why they discontinued the model but looking at the new models HDR-SR11 and SR12, they both use the AVCHD technology so they should work fine with FCE 4.

Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.

There seems to be a block with the Internet server in the United States as other Internet and cell servers i.e. Verizon and Century-Link DSL work with Mac, Andriod and PC. It just seems to be Mac on Comcast that is not...
Without more data I'm inclined to say it's more likely to be Comcast itself, rather than 'Macs on Comcast'.
For example, do other devices (PCs, Android, iOS) on that Comcast network also have problems connecting? or do they connect fine?
I'd expect that any device at that network has a problem, which indicates a problem with Comcast. It might be their DNS not resolving properly, or them not routing data correctly, but that should be your focus.
Perform a DNS lookup on the www.gordonbennett2012.ch hostname. What result do you get? Is it the expected address?
If that returns the right address, what do you get with a traceroute?
That will test the routing befween your system and the server, and may indicate other problems on the network.
