Where can I get software to support BD playback on Mac OS?

I am not sure where you can get software to play BD on Macs. Go to Apple.com to the support tab and or forums.

Honestly, I've never used the software. In the past I've used Quicktime on the mac to convert vinyl with a portable Ion record player I have. And that worked fine. But I'd say give it a shot and see how it works. Sorry I couldn't be more help. T

I would think you can, since I've down loaded some programs--I planned to try, but my video just went bad-----That's what one get for buying used--- I'm not as familiar with Mac as with Windows or Linux, Good Luck

Dwight-I see your question is growing hair so unless it's too late, the answer is yes using either Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. They should play on a Mac also but I don't know the Apple programs. I watch the programs on my PC almost every day by taking the HDD on the converter and moving it to my PC where I copy the files (though I don't have to) to another disk and then return it. Format is .mts. I use a Buffalo 1T 2.5 USB 2 external HDD. Most any will do.

Try VLC, open source player. Most everything plays. No extra codecs necessary. Get the Audiodock for Duo; hear it better.

24p is recorded in standard AVCHD, so I would guess that you wouldn't have a problem there. To be clear I haven't gotten one yet (will buy next week), but I don't expect to have a problem with the lower settings on my Mac Mini even. But again, I'm just speculating. You could try looking for sample footage on Vimeo, that's what I've done; many people have posted the raw .mts files there, and you can DL them if you get a free membership.

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?

works on mac - you need to install Epson scan software for Image Capture to see it.

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.

You can use a free player such as VLC (VideoLan Media Player). There are instructions on installing the codec in the proper location so the player can recognize the Bu Ray disc format. The player is open source, meaning it is an evolving project with broad worldwide support and more importantly, free. Search the internet for VLC for more info.

It works on my Imac 27 inch when running Windows 7 bootcamp as the primary Operating system and the blueray drivers / software from samsung are installed. In the MAC OS side, it works but there is not a blueray application player or software. I am very sure that MAC's still dont support it but I havent tried looking for a driver or software package or Codec. It can read the blueray disk though.

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.The above post refers to software for Quicktime that allows one to download and play the MPEG2 files. See this page: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

It makes blurays just fine if you have the necessary software - I am on mac and use Toast. They just take ages to burn with Toast but that's not the burner's fault.

If you're using a mac, look into yep: http://www.yepthat.com/yep/index.html It has worked well for me.

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

You should have a open source software for Mac (like MPEG StreamClip) to transform the MPEG2 encoded video in file .dv and then you could access them with iMovie.
