Which camcorder works best with iDVD/iMovie?

So I'm buying a new camcorder. Which camcorder is the easiest to use with iDVD and iMovie? For now I just want to view and produce a DVD.
I had a JVC Everio and returned it. Converting MPEG-2 to DV I guess can be done but seems like a lot of work. My first attempt with Streamclip asked me to buy the MPEG-2 module.
I'm now looking at a Sony HDR-SR1. Thought the AVCHD would be MPEG-4 compatible and work with iMovie/iDVD but not sure. It will record in both AVCHD and MPEG-2 though.
Any suggestions or ideas? I could really use the help.

Welcome Michael Snell
I use sony camcorders (minidv plus i.Link) successfully with iLife '06 and FCP HD. The ones to avoid are those that record to DVD directly or to an internal hard drive. Make sure your camera has digital pass thru which will also allow you to connect most analog sources as well should you need to like a VCR or another camera for import into iMovie via firewire.
Canon also works well but represents my second choice of minidv cameras.
JVC is in the same situation and would represent a third choice IMO.
The good news is that almost any minidv camcorder will work on a mac that uses fw provided it records to mini dv tape and has a firewire or i.Link connector/s.

Which printer brands work best with Mac?

Well, it sounds like my HP LaserJet 3015 will not duplex with my new Mac (only with PCs, I guess), so I am going to need a new printer. Does anyone have suggestions on which brands of printers work well with the Mac? Thanks in advance...

There are a number of Laserjet 3015 models. Some have automatic duplexing and others do not. If it has duplexing, it should do it whether it is on a Mac or a PC. Make sure you have duplexing and the proper driver for your printer. If you are using a Gutenprint driver instead of the HP driver, you may not have duplexing available. If you click on Options & Supplies in Print & Fax, you will be able to see which driver you are using.

I´m currently running two Netgear Readynas NV+ in conjunction with my macbook pro for backing up my photography work, but is less than happy with how it performs in different ways. Would anyone recommend something else, known to function fine with apples products?

Just about any current Synology Diskstation. Use one here with Terabytes on it. Has never failed in three years. Serves Mac, Win, Phones, and iPads just fine using SMB2, though supports AFS, and NFS too. Runs custom Linux with easy to use visual administration.

What camcorder works best with iMovie (and ATV)?

Sooner or later I will buy a HD camcorder to replace my SD MiniDV camera. I know that iMovie has serious problems with interlaced material. So I guess I should buy one that shoots progressive. But what else should I keep in mind? I shall edit the footage in iMovie and view it in Apple TV. Good picture quality and seamless editing and sharing workflow is appreciated.

Whcih external hard drive works best with macs and time machine

I'm looking for an external hard drive preferably at circuit city since I have $100 in gift cards.
I'm looking at the Acomdata pure drive 500 and 750
The Western Digital Mybook essential edition 500 and 750
Simpletech 500GB
Simpletech redrive 500GB
or Maxtor 500GB
I don't which one to pick as there are negative reviews on all of them with crashing after only one year. If not any of these what other one to pick, would like it to be from circuit city, not matter what your opinion might be of them.
I know about the Lacie drives and the G-drive but those seems expensive and only from apple store. I have airport extreme so only need usb connection so i don't care what other ports it has.
It seems like a really tough decision and looking for some help.
Let me know

Hi,\ not sure how this translates to the USA market (brand names) Im UK;
But I've been using a Lacie external hard drive for ages without problems.
Not so sure about Western Digital, - I've heard some bad reports.
I posted a request myself, and Lacie came back highly reccomended, so thats why I chose them.

Which stylus works best with ipad 3?

Want to purchase a good stylus for use with the IPAD 3. Any suggestions?

I'll be sending the SB6141 back to Amazon and looking for a different model.
The AC routers.. Extreme or TC both have problems with the SB6121 and 6141.. just search for either of those model numbers and there are lots of posts about the issue.
There are some solutions but none work 100%.. some airports work fine.. some fail.. of those that fail some can be fixed using a crossover cable or a switch between the modem and the airport.. but not all.
Sometimes it is easier to go with a standard modem router and use the Airport in bridge. It gives you most of its functionality in bridge just fine.. and only misses out on BTMM working properly because apple refuse to fix their upnp issues.

Which program works best with RuneScape.

I cannot get on with Safari, I downloaded Firefox but it only works part of the time. My problem with that is sometimes I can't type in my user name and password. Nothing show up yet I can type anywhere else. Is there a way I can get it to open with safari. Or any other suggestion. I used to be able to delete Firefox and redownload and have it work but not anymore. RuneScape suggest using the web client but that requires internet Explorer 6 and I don't have that. I hope someone can help me solve my problem. Thanks so much
