How do I view videos from my Panasonic SD40 camcorder that use the bmg format?

I just bought a Panasonic SD40 camcorder but my IMAC will not read the SD card. I believe that the Panasonic is using the bmg format.
Any suggestions?

According to iMovie '11 Supported Cameras your camera is supported by iTunes 11. I would recommend using the iMovie Tutorials.

How do you transfet older video on tape and DVD based camcoder that do not have usb?
looking at buying a MacBook 15.4

I have done this for someone else with Tape Deck coax out through USB if you have installed a TV USB application such as Hauppauge WinTV HVR; recording with TV App which is rather tedious.
Check out these - you may find better ways to do it depending on camcorder.

How do I upload my videos from my panasonic HDD camcorder onto my macbook air?

I am trying to upload videos from my panasonic HDD camcorder onto my macbook air. While it sees the photos that were taken on the camcorder, it does not seem to see the videos as when I select the import function it does not show anything listed under the camcorder when it is plugged into the macbook via usb. Thoughts? Do I need to convert the footage to something imovie can work with? If so, what program do I use and how do I do that. thanks so much. m

You can move videos or photos taken with iPad by connecting your iPad camera to Dropbox.
Or
You can upload individual photos or video by selecting "open in" and selecting Dropbox. Save to Dropbox

How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes?

How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes? The previous version had a 'photos' function in top right of the home screen but this has disappeared from the current version (Dec'12).

If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

How do I upload CDs from my PC to my ipod using the cloud?

How do I upload CDs from my PC to my ipod using the cloud?

The iTUnes sync syncs the contents of a folder you choose. ANd it handles only one folder at a time.
What I did to keep things straight, was to make a separate folder inside the 'my photos' part of my computer. Then put in that folder copies of things I wanted on my iPad. I could then add/remove from that folder as the mood struck and since everything in there was a copy I wouldn't lose any. (you would add/remove from the folder, then do a sync to allow iTunes to update that folder on your iPad to match the folder on your PC)
Another way, to get away from maintaining a folder, if you don't have a ton of photos, just e-mail them to yourself, save them from that e-mail. Keep them on the iPad as long as you like, then you can delete them as you wish. Photos that are synced onto the iPad must be synced off (as in removed from that folder then a sync performed to remove them)
E-mailing the photos to yourself gives you more flexibility in managing them on the iPad.

How do i Transfer photos from my ipad to SD Card using the Ipad photo kit

How do i Transfer photos from my ipad to SD Card using the Ipad photo kit

I don't think you can directly transfer pictures from your iPad to an SD card using the photo kit. If you have Windows PC (with USB port), connect it to you iPad using the Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. After connecting, open Windows Explorer on your PC and you'll notice that one of the icons is your iPad (as an external drive). Click on the iPad icon, then Internal Storage, then DCIM. Once you open the DCIM folder, youll see a bunch of folders in it (just like the one below) - that's were your pictures are stored. You can copy and paste these folders (or the files inside them) to you PC or if your PC has an SD Card slot (with card in it), you can copy them there as well.

HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY IBOOK G4 LAPTOP

HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY OLDER PANASONIC PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY APPLE IBOOK G4 LAPTOP?

I'm not familiar with that camcorder. What kind of output port(s) does it have?
I've downloaded the manual here:
http://www.retrevo.com/search/v2/jsp/mytrevo/myTrevo.jsp?page=man
And can find no mention of any way to connect with a computer.
I'll ask around and see if somebody knows more about it than I do.

How do you keep videos from completely playing in a slideshow (like the photos)?

In iPhoto, you can make slideshows to show photos for only 5 or however long of a duration you'd like... but when a video shows up in the show, all the pictures (depending on if you choose certain themes) will stick around on the screen as the video plays (or if the video is the only element in the current slide, also the video will completely play).
My question is.. is there any way to have the videos play for the same duration you set for the photos? Like.. to have everything.. videos AND photos.. to only play for like 5 seconds etc.
I ask this because I want to show a really big album I have at a party with a slideshow, but because of all the video I take, when some videos are a bit longer (say like 2 to 3 mintues), it kinds disrupts the flow of the slideshow (as compared to just showing a short 5 second clip of the video like with the photos only being for 5 seconds as well.
Is this possible, or does anyone know a workaround solution? I'd really like the videos to be in the slideshow too, but just not the whole videos.
We are talking thousands of photos and maybe hundreds of videos, here. Nothing I'd want to edit individually. iPhoto seems perfect for this if it would just only play portions of my video library instead of the whole videos.

No. The videos will play for their entire length. Try trimming the video in iPhoto by playing it and use the gear icon to bring up the Trip feature:
You'll get this window where you can select the portion of the video to use:
When you're done you can "revert to original" like this:
That may give you what you need for the slideshow.

Resend --how do download video from a Panasonic GS500 camcorder?

This is a resend, I put in the wrong model camcorder the first time. I have a Panasonic GS500 miniDVcamcorder and haven't been able to figure out how to download to imovie. I'm using a firewire. Any suggestions? I'm new at this and very confused at the moment, even after reading the support topics.

Forest, I tried your suggestions, but still no luck downloading. iMovie searches for the camera, but can't find it. I'm getting concerned that the GS500 is not compatible with Macs. Any other ideas?
Hi Jek
1. Camera turned off - connect firewire to Mac and
camera.
2. Open iMovie and create a name for your clips.
3. Be sure cam is set on playback -NOT PC mode
4. Turn on cam. At this point your Mac should
recognize your cam and will
show in the iMovie screen as "ready to capture",
or words to that effect.
. Use the on screen controls to start the capture
process. The computer will
control the camera.
ur Mac captures the video in real time, meaning that
if your total clips are 45 minutes of tape, it will
take 45 minutes to capture to your Mac. Hope that
helps you. Nice cam, by the way. Lucky are those of
us that got one before Panasonic discontinued it and
dummied down their consumer line of miniDV cams.

How do I import videos from my Panasonic HDC-TM55 to my ipad3

Is it possible to import videos directly from my Panasonic HD video camera to my iPad 3?

iMovie iOS was made to edit video shot on the device.
It cannot edit video that cannot be imported into the camera roll, or photos app.
You will need to convert the video to the same format as the iPad shoots.
