JVC Everio compatible with Mac Computers?? I read some reviews about software not being compatible with certain windows, but nothing on macs?

see the following link of a customer using the Everio line with a Mac. No problems.

The company's site says: "Mac functionality limited to importing files from Vado/Vado HD and using them with QuickTime player and suitable video codecs. Vado Central software is not compatible with Mac OS."So, does that mean we cannot import to iMovie?

Yea, this is ridiculous. This just happened to us, and I see posts all over the internet that the JVC Everio gets dropped and then the zoom is stuck. Our was $300, and we've really only gotten about 1 good year out of it. I won't be buying JVC again, that's for sure.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

Hi, Michael - I, too am an osX guy... you probably already did this, but I looked at Micro Memo on http://amazon.com, and several reviews were unfavorable; evidently, fidelity is not so great. I only saw one Olympus model description that even mentioned Mac, though (the 1G model) - I wonder if any of the DS series models will work for us?

I have installed the software without much trouble, but only on a Windows PC. I have doubt that it will work on a Mac.

Ummm...why does everyone say it's not Mac compatible? I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard and iMovie imports the clips with the USB cable.

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

I personally used iMovie on my Mac. I couldn't open it with any other application. I couldn't use the files with windows either. Not very happy with that, but it does take good video. All I can suggest is iMovie.

I do not see any compatibility options for MAC OS online. As a USB 2.0 connection, they are compatible to a certain extent, but are NOT 100% compatible with each other considering the "WIN" function that has programmable keys available with Windows software.

Sorry, I have a Mac and they state that it only works with Windows. Hope someone else can help.

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

This is 100% Mac compatible. I plugged it into the USB port, downloaded and played immediately. It was absolutely seamless. I didn't need any additional software at all. I have a two year old Mac Powerbook G4, Non-Intel (bought my Mac just before it switched). Make sure you have enough memory and space, though. The files are huge!

Unfortunately Leda, I have not tried it on a Mac yet, but I do have a Mac in my "other" office (where I do video work) and I'll try and take it over there tomorrow and plug it in to see if it reads it. It's not a laptop, but a tower, but I would think it would be compatible with a Mac. I'll try and let you know what I find out.
