Dear Shippey, After I connect the camera with my Macbook, there is no icon showing on my desktop. But from the screen of my videocam, it shows 'mepg in'. Only when I open iMovie and establish a new project and try to connect with my videocam, iMovie will keep switching to iSight. In another word, there is no another HD appeared on my desktop.
By the way, this videocam uses tapes. I don't think all the data inside can be shown in one folder.
Where could I download free. Where i can download a Sony Ericsson Video Converter free to convert sony ericsson to AVi? How do I view old Microsoft. No, it is not. The update package will update the version 1.1 to 3.3, but it won't work on Windows 7. Sony hasn't released a compatible version of MovieShaker.
For my PC, I installed the software from SONY and use it so called 'Movie Shaker' to import the MMV clips to the HD one by one. Thanks, David. Sony videocams are very popular in the market and this videocam is very compact and with many attractive features, like bluetooth and internet access. I've been covering the photo industry as a journalist for over 14 years and frequently deal with Sony. I never said they don't make some good products, but that they always do things their own way and have NEVER made much of an effort to support the Mac community. It is very sad that as a new Mac user, it seems like I have to use the PC to import the clips and then use Mac to do the editing. So is it possible that Mac new Operating system will provide certain software or driver for SONY MicroMV videocam in the near future?
I certainly doubt it based on past experience. BTW, it's up to Sony to supply the necessary drivers to make things work on a Mac (or some third party) - Apple doesn't do this. Since Sony sells PC format computers, they don't seem to have any reason to do so.
I suppose you could buy a new Intel Mac and also install Windows - then you could use the Sony supplied software to get the video into your computer. There are plenty of great camera choices that DO work with the Mac. Dear Shippey, As I just bought my Macbook a few weeks ago, it uses Intel core two duo processor and I have installed the parallel winXP system as I am not quite familiar with Mac at this stage. The problem is: this virtual WinXP can only share USB ports, DVD-Rom etc with Mac, but not for fireware port!
Or you may have some suggestion? BTW, if the video format for SONY videocam is DV or High definition video format, my Macbook can recognize them, right? How about the miniDV format from SONY, is it compatible with Mac?
Thanks, David. BTW, if the video format for SONY videocam is DV or High definition video format, my Macbook can recognize them, right? How about the miniDV format from SONY, is it compatible with Mac? The DV Format isn't a SONY established standard - and yes, iMovie supports miniDV camcorders from MANY manufacturers that have a Firewire interface (Sony calls it iLINK) The problem is: this virtual WinXP can only share USB ports, DVD-Rom etc with Mac, but not for fireware port! Or you may have some suggestion?
You might try the Boot Camp Public Beta Forum at or ask the Parallels folks at (A quick look at the Boot Camp Forum seems to indicate that you get Firewire support with Boot Camp. 'MPEG Streamclip is also compatible with most MPEG-2 devices that use program or transport stream files, including FireWire MPEG-2 devices like Sony IP7/MicroMV.' 'You can import transport stream files from FireWire MPEG-2 devices using DVHSCap or VirtualDVHS, two free applications available from Apple as part of the FireWire SDK 20 (developer.apple.com/sdk). NOTE: the latest FireWire SDK is not publicly available, please scroll down the list until you find the FireWire SDK 20, or click this direct download link from Apple: FireWire SDK 20. Install the package and you will find DVHSCap and VirtualDVHS in /Developer/FireWireSDK20/Applications/.' For geeks only.
