movie download Just purchased the Panasonic FZ 35. Love it. I can easily save the photos onto a Mac but cannot save the movies. Can someone tell me how to save the movies. Thanks.

I don't use video and the FZ35 forum isn't getting much attention, now that it is discontinued. Try searching through the discussions on this forum site. This question has been asked and answered several times. I think the same procedure applies to the FZ28, FZ35 and the FZ40 regarding Mac.

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

its a widely known issue - macs dont recognise memory card formatted by this camera. it's a joke trying to get files onto iMovie...

Johnny,I am new at camcorders and am looking for something easy to download onto my lab top. I am not very computer savvy so I am hesitant to go the HD route. Any thoughts on the TM90 software? Easy to use? compared to Canon 41 and Sony ? Thanks

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

I am having concerns about this too--ready to click purchase, but it sounds like a real headache to get into iPhoto. Did you ever get a response from Nikon about how to do this?If not, what are you doing? Connecting the card reader to the mac, copy-paste the files, then manually import to iPhoto to create libraries?Seems a bit like going back in time. My ancient Sony CyberShot P&S; works great with iPhoto.

Hi Thomas - I'm on a mac. PacificImageSelects included SW "CyberViewX" is quirky stuff. It can only save in tiff and has no dust removal. Need to purchase VueScan or Photoshop (via CyberViewX as TWAIN) to go for more - e.g Raw. Unfortunately Macs ImageCapture - personally i like it and use it with some Epson scanners - doesn't recognize the PacificImageSelect. Sorry, but the Pacific Hardware is not bad rather then the SW.

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

I'd just like to second this question, as I'm facing the same choice myself right now. A review of the Panasonic camera says that unit doesn't offer a RAW image format, but it wasn't really clear if the image compression "noise" was only visible on printouts, or if it shows up on your computer or television screen as well.

Interesting. I just purchased this product and, assuming it would just automatically launch with iMovie, I was surprised when it didn't. I have a Mac Book Pro w/latest os. I wonder why I'm not getting the same response?

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.

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?

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!

Can,t comment on MAC compatibility of software. I use a PC and take the SD card out and plug it to download the JPG files. I like the features on this camera especially the panorama stitch of three. Highly recommended after I killed the predecessor with fine Australian dust.

Thank you for your response. I don't have a Mac. I wanted to convert to AVI for two reasons: I need to rotate video taken on vacation recently (now I know not to rotate my camera for video) and my new digital frame takes video in AVI only. I'm looking for a conversion program that will give me phone tech support. Apple will not since I don't have a Mac. Anyway, thanks again for your comments ... any other suggestions will be appreciated. Happy New Year, Ann

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!
