Do the videos play on Mac?

from one of the reviews I found this: MAC USERSThe CX220 claims that it does not work with MAC OS, but it does work with iMovie. What this basically means is that you cannot simply plug the CX220 into your MAC and copy files.You must first download iMovie, and then all recordings can be stored to your MAC very easily. iMovie is a great program and very easy to use. There is a great post on YouTube that is titled: HDR-CX160 directly to iMovie. This is the same method for storing videos from your HDR-CX220 to your MAC. It works very well.

Yes. You can use either the USB port or the SD port (if you have one). I have used the SD card with my MacBook Pro and used AirDrop to upload to my MacBook Air. I hope you enjoy your camera and capture some holiday memories!

Yes they do. I usually record in MP4 image quality and use Quick Time Player or VLC player. My computer is MAC Mini OS-X. One of my videos on You Tube taken with my Cx-220. http://youtu.be/zfDtjPE17ro If you download VLC Media Player (free) it will play almost any format. Thanks MM

I'm running OSX on my mac and I've had no real problems with my Aiptek DV5900 so far, except for the videos. D: But I found a quick download solved that problem. I can play the videos on quicktime, I just can't edit them or anything in iMovie, which, sucks, but I can live with it, seeing as I don't really use the video function on my camera anyway except to take funny pet videos. And editing is really not needed in youtube quality things.But as for photos, it still works. I kind of hate how cumbersome iPhoto is and wish it didn't take so long to recognize my camera when I plug it in via the USB port, but at least it recognizes it. Thank God.

I have a Mac Mini and I'm able to import the videos without problem. Besides, the software will reside in the SD card, not your Mac

I have both burned and watched blurays on MAC and PC with mine. The MAC requires optional software and there are several options online .

Mac's do not inherently support blu ray, however, there are multiple options for free software that will play blu ray's from this drive on your mac with no issue. Personally I use VLC player.

Yes, they play very well on a Mac and you can also edit them by adding music if your intent was to capture cool sites while on vacation, which you can share or post to your favorite social media site.

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/

Yes, but it only comes with one program to play them. So, if it is not in the right format, you are out of luck. This is a horrible computer! It has a lot of problems!

Got this as a gift. My Mac does not seem to recognize it while plugged in a USB. I have tried to no avail. So, my guess is no. In addition the package says ( Media Playing software: Attached software of the operating system or mainstream audio and video media playing software Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista) So, I'll assume it is not MAC supported.

Yes. On Mac use image capture app and use preview to convert to anything you want. On pc use included software in box.

Yes. Buy you need to install an Apps like KMPlayer before trying to view or play that video.

Should work fine on mac and I believe that you can play .mov files through it. On my pc I have to convert the file from .mov to mp4 or other playable list. Downloaded software and have no issues.

havent tried yet, but I got a friend who works on a Mac and shoots with Cannon video cam, so i think it is possible...will try soon

To be more specific, do you end up with .mts or .mp4 files? I want .mp4 files so that I can just download the file to my computer and watch on my TV using the AppleTV box.

I'm sorry, but I don't use Macs. It produces .mov-files. Should not be a problem with Macs.

Files are saved with an AVI extension. Can a Mac play AVI files? Can a Mac play AVI files with the right software?

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.
