What video cameras are compatible with mac computers without having to download software?

Did you try connecting your camera to the computer USB port via the supplied USB interface cable instead of plugging in the SD card directly?
No driver is needed to connect your computer to your camera.

Regardless of whether or not you 'like' downloading and installing software on your computer, Canon DOES HAVE software available for your specific camera and it IS compatible with recent versions of the Mac OS X operating system. Maybe try that instead of whining here about it not being compatible.

What video cameras are compatible with Final Cut Express?

I live in Japan and was thinking of buying a Victor " Full High Definition" video camera (1920x1080). The only thing I was warned about by the salesperson is that unless I have a Blue-Ray DVD recorder/player, I will never be able to enjoy true Full HD after burning my video to a DVD. I guess regular DVD recorders/players can't support it yet.
I have searched to find a page that tells me what video camera is compatible with my iMac G5, but no luck. Any ideas on how to find out before buying a video camera? I would appreciate anyone's advice.
Thanks, Larry in Japan

Hope you don't mind me asking why? - As long as they've got a F/W connector how does the source media make any difference? - In fact, I would think that shuttling around would be faster with HD's or DVD's.....
I also believe the salesperson was trying to say that he's going to need a BluRay deck in order to be able to view his HD material on an appropriately equipped TV - Which is correct, no?
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Cheers,

What video files are compatible with mac?

I am trying to download videos and movies, which file formats are compatible with mac?

Some types of AVIs and all protected WMA and WMV files aren't. If the component needed to open a movie isn't clear, the free MPEG Streamclip will reveal what it is or if it's possible at all.

What web cams are compatible with OS X 10.4.11 for 1.33 GHz 12"PowerPC G4? I want to use it with Skype. Please advise!

I wish to purchase a webcam for use with Skype. I have a 12" PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11, 1.33 GHz. What inexpensive webcams are compatible with my laptop? (Mine is the metal case. The model number is: PowerBook 6,4) Please advise.

Also consider Apple's iSight web cam. It connects via Firewire which is faster than USB2, has a built in microphone & is self focusing. Here's an old review http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1383357,00.asp
I have one.
You can possible get a used one for $30-$50 on Craig's List or eBay. Be sure & get one with the laptop mount. The first versions only came with a table mount.

What web cams are compatiable with an imac on the latest software version?

Hi There
Does anyone know of a cheaper web cam than the isight? There are many different makes but i cannot find any that are compatiable with latest version of operating system.
Thanks for your help
Simon

Hi Simon,
There is this Apple Doc http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/firewirewebcamdriver.html
It lists this page http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.html
If you are going for a USB cam you will need http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
It has a Camera list page http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html that links to drivers if the one that comes with the camera does not work.
Logitechs seem popular.

What video cards are compatible with my early 2006 Mac Pro?

The video card currently in my early 2006 Mac Pro (2.6 GHz, dual-core) isn't fast enough for many of the recent games and I'd like to upgrade. I play games both on OSX Snow Leopard and Windows XP via Boot Camp. Is there a list of currently compatible cards available somewhere?
Thanks.

No, not really.... but a couple of tips...
1) when you're pulling the old card out, remember there is a black plastic retainer clip at the inner (front of computer) end. I didn't notice that, and now it's broken.
2) Get the 5770 from Apple, not a big box store.... those don't come with the power cable you need and may not work.
3) Plug the power cable into the mother board (?) first. It's fiddly, especially if you have big hands.... then plug it into the card, then slot it into the computer.
There are demos on youtube, but they all seem to miss out the fiddly bits.....!

What video cards are compatible with W540?

Hi all,
I am new to this community and to laptops in particular. I have a W540 notebook and I am using it both for software development and gaming. Specs programming are OK but I'm lacking in video performance when it comes to gaming.
Currently there's nVidia Quadro K1100M in my laptop so I was wondering if this can be upgraded to something better so my gaming experience can improve. From what I've read Quadro series are good for the graphic applications like CAD or similar but GTX series are better for gaming.
Can my laptop accomodate any of the GTX family, like 7xxM, 8xxM or 9xxM series? Or am I stuck with Quadro family? Do those families differ in their size (so that GTX can't fit in the W540, for example)?
If the dimensions are same, would you recommend to upgrade to some GTX or stay in the Quadro line and upgrade to 2100 or higher?
I suppose changing the card in the laptop is not that straightforward as in desktop computers (there I have plenty of experience). Would the change involve also removing the cooling block and then mount it back on the new card including the thermal paste application?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Felix, ugh, that is unexpected. So there's no slot for the vcard? I guess I need to learn about laptops some more.
I guess none of the options is really feasible... Seems just too much. Replacing the whole board seems like overkill, I definitely don't have soldering equipment nor skills (in fact I've heard about this for the first time ) and making it external is just too expensive and cumbersome.
Well... If I want to play some new titles I guess I need to start thinking about buying a serious gaming laptop and not trying to make one out of the W540
Thanks again for the insights!

What external drives are compatible with mac g5 osx 10.5.8?

Hello, I have a Mac g5 osx 10.5.8 and I am trying to copy the DVDs for motu's Mach Five2 to an external harddrive. I had everything copied to a La Cie external harddrive, but it seems not to be working any more, so I got a Toshiba Canvio 3.0, version 1 tb and then version 1.5 tb, but the DVDs I mentioned won't copy to it. I get error messages of either 0 or -36, which seems to mean that there is not enough space on the Toshiba external harddrive. The Toshiba has a 500 GB capacity, and the DVD I am trying to copy is 83.3 GB, so I don't see what the problem might be. I have gotten replacement dvds from motu, tried and exchanged the Toshiba, used disk utilities from the Mac, and checked all cables and connections, talked to motu technical support and the people who sold me the Toshiba, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be much appreciated. Thanks, OJ

These are my #1 choice for desktop Macs regardless of processor type. One with FireWire is great for PPC Macs:

Too many "on sale every day" name-brand externals at the local office stuporstore are so Windows-centric that they are often ill-behaved on Macs. I even had a WD external marketed as "Mac Edition" that was nothing but trouble. I tore open the WD enclosure, rescued the decent drive inside, and put it in an enclosure with USB2 and FW800 from the family of units I linked above. Works perfectly now.

What external burners are compatible with mac

I have an io magic idvd16DDBB external dvd burner.
It works some of the time, but sometimes it just won't recognize the disk. I have tried patch & burn, but it does not seem to cut it. Does anyone know why this is such a problem?
Also does anyone know a good place where I can find listings of drives/devices that work on mac.
I called appple care, and they don't have much to offer.
This brings up the question, why does apple not have a nice user friendly lists on their site that give information on third party hardware that works with the mac. To me there is no excuse for this, and as much as I like apple, I think they need to get their act togethor!

XLR8yourmac.com has a very large user-supported database.
Check it out. There is a ton of stuff there and you can search by many different variables.

What video files are compatible with iMovie

I am using iMovie for the first time on my ipad2 and cannot import mov files into the software. I presume it only likes certain filetypes. Anyone any idea where I can get a list please?

There is a free App called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. You can drag your .3gp into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME.
For HD sizes (1280x720 or 1920x1080), choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the Video Codec.
For smaller sizes, you can also use Apple Intermediate Codec, but h.264 will also work and will give a smaller file size.
Then import this new file into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIES

What cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit

what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2

I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
Good luck

With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

What video formats are compatible in DVDSP??

I have DVD Studio Pro 4 and I need to know what video formats are compatible in the program? I made an .m2v file but its too large to fit even on a DL DVD so I need to drop the .m2v file into Mpegstreamclip and convert it to something else and decrease the size so then I can drop it back into DVDSP and burn it. Any help with this? What are formats supported in DVDSP? Or, is there another way around my problem (too big of a file)?? Thanks!

Can you make the audio AC3? That may put you under.
Also keep in mind that if the 2 hour 2 minute movie is that large in file size, it means it probably was encoded at a high rate which can cause issues (you can try to re-encode the m2v in a couple of ways if needed)
As to the story issues it sounds like you made a story accidently. Take a look here
