I was googling for the same info since I have one to try out and both your question and the link below came up in my search. Since yours hasn't been answered yet, I figured I would repost the link (both win/max instructions) here: http://www.aunsoft.com/convert_sony_dsc-tx7_avchd_mts_to_final_cut_pro/ Note that I still haven't really tried this yet, since this isn't my camera for keeps, I just have the video files on my flash card so I'm really looking for software to pull from the card/disk directly, not the CD that came with the camera or this other add-on product they describe.

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

My daughter lost her power shot 770 we are trying to decide what to replace it with. The best part of the 770 I thought was the ease of wich I could download her videos to my computer. ( aside from the fact that it was an awesome camera). I am worried that some one reported vsta problems, but I think going to HD video is an important step. Has anyone had success with downloading to vista OS (no software)?Does it have to download to quicktime?

Sorry not certain I am Not a mac user. Email in a few days at fttvienna@aol.com and I can help you out. At this time I am out of town and can't supply much detail. As you may or may not be aware Video software capture and processing is a complicated process. MANY MANY products are out there. I purchased something on line that converts formats and MAC type was one of the. and there are many types of programs out there Camera came with software that stores video in three formats I had no issues with Storing and editing. You also have to piece all the points you create when you use Pause feature because camera creates a separate video clip each time you pause. Software supplied with camera does handle that

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.

I have only transferred video fro the camera to a Windows PC and it was using the firewire cable. I guess there must exist some firewire adapter for the mac.

I managed to get it to work after quite alot of messing around.Move the 'open source' folder on the macam download into the quicktime folder ASWELL as the .component.I had to re-Re-install skype and maccam, and presto! seem to be much better quality than the iSight i also have benn loaned..

Good Morning Thomas! I was so happy to read your post on Amazon. I just purchased a 1 Gig XD Fujifilm card. I have precious Christmas video on the card and can't get it off. Now, I understand that I'm not alone. Did you ever find a way to transfer your video to your pc - or burn it to a disk? I'm leary of "erasing" the video until I'm sure that I can't retrieve it. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!Lauri

Just use the provided USB cable and connect it to any PC, ( Mac too , i believe ),... and it would work like a regular flash drive, browse the folders till you find the desired video. Usually my videos are time coded, so i know what video is that im looking for. You can time code your videos on your settings menu.

The way i use it is I remove the Sandisc from the camera, plug it in the Mac, download the pics, erase from the disc and put back in the camera. Actually i have a couple of discs so when i go to check the camera I just swap discs. The Mac has a slot in the back to plug in the Sandisc, has worked very well for me. Very pleased with the camera. Hope this helps.

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

There is also software that Pixela sells for the Mac to transfer video to the MAC. This is the site: http://www.pixela.co.jp/oem/sony/e/capty_mpeg_edit_ex/index.htmlI have never used it though.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

I do not know why you think it is not compatible with the Mac. The video transfer is done via USB, which I believe is compliant with a Mac. On the PC, the internal memory and the SD card load as virtual drives and then I perform a file transfer. I do not use a Mac but if I am correct then that would be the same process used.

I have an iMac, and have had trouble downloading the videos too! iMovie, iDVD and the enclosed software don't work. I can get the stills, but not the video! argggh!Gretchen

I have the iMac and went ahead and bought Windows 7 to do work stuff on it through Bootcamp. Then, just recently bought the VC500 - downloaded it on the Windows 7 side and was able to connect my camcorder to the VC500 which was connected to my Mac and recorded it on Windows 7. Makes sense?In a nutshell, buying a full version of Windows and installing on my Mac was the best thing I could ever do. It's the best of both worlds - really.
