Use of PlayMemory on ipad to read video from a sony camera

how can I read the videos taken from my Sony camera TX10 format TS (AVC)? Videos from a Canon camera appear amonst the photos but not with the Sony camera
I have dowloaded the PlayMemory Mobile application but it is still not working.
Thanks for your help

I have used Canon still cameras for more than 20 years, always with great results. I love my Canon digital cameras. However, I have not purchased a video camera.
I like Canon too.
USB is not a good way to import Video.
USB camcorders use formats that use high compression to store the video files thereby lowering quality. This may be good enough to give you "decent footage" if so, then you won't have a problem using a USB camcorder. However I have never been happy with the quality that a USB camcorder provides (they always look grainy to me).
A miniDV tape cam will give you lossless quality video and is best for any editing purposes (iMovie, Final Cut etc.). So without Firewire make sure you get a chance to try out any USB camcorder before you buy.
Having a tape cam also allows you to always safely keep your original footage, plus make a tape copy of your finished movie by exporting from iMovie HD6 back to your cam. Tapes are far more reliable long term storage media, if stored properly, than any DVD or hard drive will ever be.

  • I can't find the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro

    I can't locate the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro.  Do I need additional software?

    How & where did you search?  I gather the videos are no longer in the cam?  Where do you have the videos go when transferring from your cam?
    Download WhatSize and/or OmniDiskSweeper to see if you can "see" the videos.

  • I want to use my I Pad mini to play videos from my Gopro Hero HD camera and also to use as a monitor if possible?

    I want to use my I Pad mini to play videos from my Gopro Hero HD camera and also to use as a monitor if possible? What software would i need to use ? I movie is what i use with my I Mac not sure if this will work on I Pad Mini?

    At first I thought that this solved my problem, but alas it didn't. It does appear to add display area for your computer or to suplement it. But it is not a view screen for your Mini. I guess I will just have to live on with my monitor and use my Ipad and the "remote" app to run Itunes.
    Once I have the system all set up, I could use the display but I don't know why I would. Thanks for your help.

  • My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  does not happen with any other streaming video service.

    my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds.  This does not happen with any other streaming video service.  I have restarted and rebooted already. 

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

  • Can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

    can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

    It would depend on the camera, and the software, there are items like airparrot, drone camera, or video surveilance cameras that have ipad apps for viewing. A great deal more research is in store I'm afraid.
    Google the following for an example
    can you connect a go pro to an ipad and capture the video

  • How do I transfer video from my sony DCR-SR82 to macbook pro

    How do I transfer video from my sony DCR-SR82 to macbook pro. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

    "It's vital to research your computer purchases before you make them ... especially when you spend so much money, you need to be sure it'll work with the devices that you already have."
    I agree with you...to a point. I knew my 13-inch aluminum had no firewire, but I had no idea Apple would leave me high and dry by creating a product that would not accept DV video by any means. That's like producing a computer without a headphone jack. It's unconscionable for a company that promotes easy video editing and creation as one of their primary selling points to put a product like this out there. I have iMovie and I can't even use it?? Who thought THAT was a good idea? I upgraded to Mac for a reason and I'm deeply disappointed.

  • Importing Video From a Sony HVR-Z5E into Adobe Premiere CS5

    Hi,
    I am importing video from the Sony HVR-Z5E straight into Premiere using the capture option off the file menu but the colour looks completely different to what it looks like on the camera. Why should this be? When I preview the video in the capture window the video looks fine. its just after I have captured it.
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    RAM: 3 GB
    Please HELP??!!??
    Many Thanks

    Either your camera or your monitor is not properly calibrated. Lucky for you, capturing is just a transfer of digital data without any modification at all, just like copying files from A to B. They do not change in the copy process. So either it is in the eye of the beholder or you monitor is not properly calibrated or you are just imagining things.
    Wish you luck with editing HDV on such a system.

  • Downloading Video from a digital camera

    I am trying to download a video from a digital camera, and iPhoto is not allowing it to, with no reason given. Does anyone know of an upgrade or a program where i can download the video?
    Thanks

    Welcome to macbook forum
    You should use iMovie instead of iPhoto.
    And if you only have usb port and no firewire port in your camera, you must use iMovie 7 from iLife '08 that allowed tapeless camera / camcorder video file imported to your mac.
    You can also browse the camera storage media and drag the video file to your HD or desktop using the camera usb connection (it should pop up as white drive at desktop) or using usb card reader.
    Good Luck.

  • How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

    How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

    If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
    A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

    You can use Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
    Connect the camera to your Mac.
    Launch Image Capture
    Select Image Capture from the pop up menu (bottom left corner of the iMage Capture window).
    At the bottom of the window click the pop up menu to select the folder where you want the videos stored.
    Select the Import or Import All button at the bottom of the Image Capture window.

  • Cannot play/edit video from camcorder (Sony)

    I am using iMovie 11 (latest version) under Lion on a 17" MBP with 8gb RAM. There are two scenarios I have followed to edit video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder:
    I import directly into iMovie from the camera using a USB cable. The program finds the video files, imports them into clips, and they appear in the clip area of the program's screen.
    I read the files into a folder and convert them to .mp4 files using Video-Converter from Wondershare. I then import the mp4 clips into iMovie with the same results as in 1.
    In both cases, when I attempt to play a clip, is starts, I heart the sound for about 3-5 seconds, after which it mutes. The video does not play; the playback pane continues to show the first frame of the clip. If I scrub along the clip, however, I see the video play and hear the audio. I know that Apple says they don't support this Sony camera in iMovie, but it seems that it should at least support .mp4 clips as I create with Video-Converter.
    I have tried recording in HD and Standard modes, to no avail. Quicktime plays the clips without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated!
