Is a Sony camcorder High Def model SR11 compatible with Mac?

Now I have another question...I just bought a Sony camcorder HD SR11 (High Definition)...via email through BestBuy and I was told that I would not be able to import my movies to my IMac using iMovie because Sony's software does not support Mac so they told me to buy Adobe Premier Elements 4.....so I did..I have not tried it yet because I have not received the camcorder but I do not want to open it and pay a restocking fee if it is not going to work.....Is it going to work or should I just exchange the camcorder for another one that is compatible with Mac...and if so any brands I should keep in mind??????

i too just bought this camera.
iMovie doesn't see the camera? everyone on these forums says it does though, any ideas why mine wouldn't. I'm not really familiar with iMovie as i use FCP but... " command i" should recognize the camera should it not. it's in USB mode on the camera.
iMovie 8 updated latest
Dual Quad Core 3 Ghz Intel
also running FCP Studio2 which doesn't recognize usb cameras
i thought buying a hard drive camcorder would eliminate the hassle of tape. so far not so good!!!

    Jose A.-
    What ports are on the Sony?  The digital adapter should work with an HDMI port.
    If the Sony does not have an HDMI port, there are also VGA, Composite and Component AV adapters available from Apple.

  • A good High Definition camcorder that is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5?

    ok, i need to find a good HD camcorder for my macbook pro which uses imovie 08, but i am using imovie HD 6. my budget is around $250 and i am willing to purchase on ebay. i recently bought an HD camera off ebay for $130, it was good but i found out later it wasn't compatible with MAC! so, i need a little bit of help from anyone who knows anything about ebay, hd cameras, and mac support.
    and one more question, is the Aiptek hd camera supporting Mac? - because is records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).

    Those little Aiptek things, though supposedly shooting in hi-def, use high compression which iMovie HD 6 just can't deal with. If you buy one of those, you'll have to run the video through other programs first in order to make it compatible with iMovie 6.
    They usually record in something like 720p ('progressive') mode, which iMovie generally doesn't like: it expects to receive normal i ('interlaced') video ..the kind which standard-def broadcast television generally uses.
    A hi-def picture needs to be nice and stable for you to get the best out of it - otherwise it's just as much a wobbly blur as standard-def. So for good results you want a camera which has an image stabiliser built in. I don't think the cheap'n'cheerful Aipteks do.
    Even though the Product Description may say "..A-HD is your 720p HD Camcorder, Digital Camera, and Personal Media Player/Recorder! Captures true to life, vibrant colors and astonishing High Definition images like you've never seen, right in the palm of your hand.." ..that's just advertising blurb or twaddle, of course. Who says that these are images "..like you've never seen.."? ..If you have already seen images from a JVC, Sony, Canon or other decent brand hi-def camcorder, then those from the Aiptek camcorders are pretty disappointing. But no advertiser is going to spend money to say "..images far more disappointing that those of other camcorders.." ..are they?
    So - as Karsten suggests - you should be looking for an HDV hi-def camcorder on eBay.
    P.S: You wrote "..records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).." ..but several QuickTime formats - although they do play in QuickTime Player - won't work properly within iMovie (e.g; sound or picture may be missing). Such formats need to be converted into another .mov, or .DV format before trying to use them in iMovie.

  • Camcorder compatible with mac

    I am going to buy a new camcorder and was wondering if anyone could recommend any that is compatible with macs. I was looking at the Sony handycam CXR105E. Any ideas anyone?

    Sorry, I posted too hastily!
    As you are posting in the iMovie 6 forum I assume that is what you want to use to edit the video from the camera - it is not much 'compatibility with a Mac' that is the issue, it is more compatibility with the editing software you will be using.
    As far as iMovie 6 is concerned it has to be a camera producing DV from tape and connected via firewire.
    Post back if that didn't answer your question!

  • Sony HDR-SR1 compatible with mac?

    I just bought the new sony handycam HD camcorder with the built in hard drive but was shocked to find that it did not come with software for Mac. Fortunately, I have an old windows machine so I installed the the software necessary to import the videos from my camcorder onto my PC. However, I do not want to use my windows anymore. Does anyone know if sony camcorders just aren't compatible with macs or is there some way for me to import my videos directly onto my apple?

    Have a look, via Google, for converters to change the .mts video format into something compatible with DV. You may have to run the converter software on your PC, as I can find only a Linux (not Mac) converter, and some PC software. Having converted it to DV format, you'd have to copy the resultant file(s) to your Mac ..probably by plugging in an external hard disc to first one and then the other. Cumbersome, I know.
    There is no support for the AVCHD format - as Kirk says - in iMovie at present. We'll have to wait and see what iMovie HD 7 brings. But that should be quite soon..

  • HD Camcorder Compatible with Mac?

    I am planning on purchasing a MacBook. I am also planning on purchasing an HD Camcorder, and I want to make sure that it will be compatible with Mac Software. I have read that when transfering videos onto a Mac, sometimes video quality is lost.
    Does anyone know if this is true, or if there is any way I can avoid losing quality. Are there any particular camera makes/models that are better for Macs?

    Most any of the newer HD camcorders should work fine with iMovie. Any of them listed here will work.

  • Is ipod model ma146fb compatible with "windows 8"

    IS the Ipod classic model MA146FB compatible with Windows8?

    All versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.
    Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

  • Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with mac and imovie?

    Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with iMovie?

    I should add, my answer above is for "intermediate" or editing codecs. These are high quality codecs that preserve as much quality as possible in the editing process. Once you have finished editing, you would convert (or compress) to a delivery codec. THe intermediate codecs are too large to stream over the internet, or to play on your iphone, so you would convert.
    The best codec for this purpose is h.264, which provides a really good quality at a relatively low data rate, This means good quality with a relatively small file.
    h,264 is a subset of the MPEG4 standard.
    A h.264 movie can live in a MOV container, an MP4 container, a M4V container, and perhaps others, like AVI.
    By default, iMovie creates h.264 files in the m4v container for LARGE and smaller. For 720P and 1080P. it creates h.264 in a MV container.
    You can tweek the defaults by SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME

  • Is Sony DCR HC 96 MiniDV compatible with MAC

    I have read mixed reviews on this - some folks say they have been able to use it with iMovies (through firewire) while others have not.
    Is this model from Sony compatible with imovie HD? Any feedback on usage or experience ? Thanks very much

    Hi Vikmac:
    Welcome to discussions!
    While I own several Sonys that work very well with the Mac, I do not own the Sony DCR HC 96.
    But, as long as you have the proper 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, I see no reason at all that it wouldn't work!
