Using Mac, Can I set chapter markers? Can I import DV video using a FireWire cable ? Can I also import via USB ? How do you burn DVDs?

I can't help, as I do not have a Mac. But I would think you might the answers on the Adobe website.?

That makes sense..... I've just always rendered my movies with 3 minute chapter points. It appears that this user is using each clip as a chapter marker. They could divide the clips into catagories creating a title for each and that would bring down the chapter count allowing the app to burn the DVD.

When I put the video on my computer I did not use the USB cord, I used an SD card and it worked fine. I have a MacBook pro and just put the micro sd card into the larger SD card that fits into the slot in the computer.

That's a tricky question as you are really talking about "Will my video card allow input cables from my camcorder?" The other option is whatever your camcorder records with (tape, disc, what have you) is there a way to transfer that data to the PC/MAC. Will it burn in HD? Yes absolutely. To a DVD? Not truly. You would need to have a blank BLURAY disc to get the real HD quality I think you might be looking for. The real trick is getting it off your camcorder. :) Hope this helps and if wanting some idea's try this string in Google "move video from camcorder to computer" without the quotes of course. :) Best of luck!

This is video editing software (a good one) but it does not offer 1-click solution (at least I am not aware of it nor I was ever looking for it) that can import from your device and burn to disc.If you just want to burn your raw films on DVD any burning software would do the job.You need this one (Movie Studio) if you want to edit video before burning.

This is a common question. The answers are getting a bit old, like the Everio itself, but Google is your friend. I found the question at an Adobe help forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/3154985For Mac users, try: http://www.iskysoft.com/convert-tod/tod-video-converter-mac.html

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

I have had this same problem. Trying to take tapes and convert them to DVD. I have found they only way that you will get a fire wall on your computer is to install the usb. Or get an old computer that already has it. I have spent LOTS of money on cables etc. I finally took it to a shop and this is what they told me. Don't waste you money on this set. NOT excited when it arrived. Very cheaply made. It now is in a junk drawer just in case........If you know what I mean. I would love to know if you can find another way. Still can't edit....Gave up for the time being. Cost too much to have it done at Costco. LOL I have had this same problem. Trying to take tapes and convert them to DVD.

I have NOT used a Mac, but I would assume same cautions apply: 1) make sure the slightly thicker discs will clear the drawer; 2) lower the burn speed as much as you can -- 4X or 8X is ideal to prevent "coasters". You should have "superior sounding" discs. I burn with Windows and NERO with no problems, except NERO will NOT make a copy onto a Verbatim from another Verbatim -- just a strange quirk!

Firewire. Or a dv player. Cost about 20$ for the firewire cord or 100$+ for the dv player. I used windowa movie make and vegas pro and pinnacle studios if that help at all

Play memories home does not seem to support MAC OS. Check with Sony tech support. Otherwise, connect the camcorder as a storage device, copy and paste your video file. Third option, import using a third party video editor. Check if Sony Vega Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director would work.

I think so. I didn't installed them in Mac. But the disc came with it says so. Also, I successfully transferred the videos to my colleague's Mac.

Indeed, there is a DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) connection on the GS500, enabling easy transfer of video to any Mac with a FireWire port! You have to buy your own 4-pin to 6-pin connecting cable, but other than that, this product is *COMPLETELY* compatible with Macintosh!

Yes - you take out the SD card - and put into your MAC - goes right into iMovie - or iPhoto - whatever you want - but I don't think the cord works with MAC - b/c Mac has moved from Firewire to SD card...so I guess depends on your MAC -

sorry no one has responded to you. ABSOLUTELY. I am a die hard Mac fan, and with this sony, it is so easy. You do need to buy a Firewire cable. But once you do, as soon as you hook it to your Mac, iMovie will automatically launch and you are on your way to making movies from footage. (this assumes you are on a current system such as Panther or Tiger...)

I'm in the same boat with John. I have downloaded and installed Perian (recommended by Creative) and still no sound. I get great results moving to my PC, but iMovie and iDVD are only on my Mac. Anyone solved this?
