HT204382 what software do i need to play my video on my mac book pro, i have a sony handycam

oh i just bought a Sony DCR- SX45 handycam, when i connected it to my mac it sais the document MPG, could not be opened. The movie is not in format the QuickTime Player understands. you may need to install additional software to open this type of file.  So what software do i need to transfer the video to my mac, i can see the video when the handycam is connected to my mac, but i cant drag it to the desktop.

To see them, I recommend VLC. It doesn't transfer videos, but you can see it

  • HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

    What software do i need to install in order to be able
    to play movies in .avi format.
    have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
    files are in .avi format.
    Ansver i get : does not support

    VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
    There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
    Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
    VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

  • What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

    What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

    Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • What is the biggest hard drive I can place in my mac book pro?

    I have a late 2011 mac book pro 15". I need a bigger hard drive in the laptop because this one is just way too small. What is the biggest hard drive i can put in the laptop. I'm asking this because i can't find any real info on types of hard drives i can get and what not.

    If you're going to trust your internal drive up to 1TB, which is indeed possible, I would recommend buying a backup drive of 2-3TBs. Personally, I'd rather have a 512GB SSD with a 2TB backup and a 2TB 'working' external than try to cram 1TB into my portable computer...
    ...that's just me...

  • I need a larger hard disk for my mac book pro

    Hi my mac Book pro 2.53GHz 13' needs a larger hard disk do you have any suggestion? I'm thinking about a 750/1T but which brand/model works great? I do music production.
    L

    For music production, you'll probably want a 7200RPM drive, and all the current 1TB units are 5200 or 5400RPM. Consider the 750GB 7200RPM Seagate:

    Hello!!
    Actually, you need Oracle Spatial or Oracle Locator. Oracle Locator is free on Oracle Express, and you could start with it. Otherwise, if you want to know more, Oracle Spatial comes with Oracle Enterprise, and Oracle 10g gives you a schema that allow you to store, manage and query spatial data through Oracle functions, etc.
    To start using MapViewer, considering that you already have some spatial data stored on the database, you could download the MapViewer kit at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/index.html.
    You could buy the Pro Oracle Spatial book. It´s very good.
    Good Luck!
