Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.

For me it just worked as is - plug it in using the provided USB cable, and the drive icon will show up on your desktop after several seconds. You can re-format it with Apple's file system (HFS+) if you only intend to use it with Apple computers, but the default should work fine too.

Could you please try to download the information by the USB flash disk? It also support download by USB flash disk. Any other questions, please contact me freely.Best regards.

The USB connection is for uploading it to your computer. Do not know about MAC, Sorry

I have a Macbook Air as well. It does come with a CD and I also can't find any way to get the software.

Did you ever figure out how to use your Sony Handycam DCR-DVD108 with your Imac/Imovie? I still haven't -- but there has to be a way, right? I gave up a while back, but am now ready to try again. Please let me know if you have any tips.

Mark thanks for saying that you hadn't tried it, cause I was feeling really stupid that I had not put an audio in mine either. The kids' music is all on iPod and hard drive (streamed, when it works...). I hardly get to play all my CDs any more and after all this $$ just spent, I think I deserve it. Maybe I will just burn a bunch of Blu-rays of the CDs now that they came out with a burner/sw to do so on the Mac. Spending $ as fast as I earn it, but what is money for? Oh yeah, college...

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I am not a Mac user so I can't answer your specific question. You could try making a DVD on a DVD recorder and putting it into your MAC. Worth a try. Ray

Please help as I'm still a little new to the Mac world. I dragged the files to iMovie but their just blank--I hear the audio but not visual. I did update to iLife 08. Would the DivX plugin help?

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

I got my iMac in December 2011, so I'm fairly sure it's also only running USB2, and I've had no problems running this drive. I can't imagine you should have any difficulty. Especially since it's such an easy drive to set up.

I missed the DVD part of the question. It is definitely possible and easy to burn onto a DVD with software. Your imac should've come with iDVD. There are lots of tutorials on youtube and it's easy to learn.

I just started using the 8gb on an iMac with Leopard. After connecting the Walkman, it appears as a device mounted in the finder. One can just drag-n-drop items to the appropriate folder on the Walkman (VIDEO for movies, MUSIC for, well, music). The problem I'm having is determining the exact type of file formats it supports. It will play music downloaded from iTunes no problem--both protected and unprotected files. It will not, however, play files I rip from a CD with iTunes using its Apple Lossless Encoding. This boggles my mind. I am also having a terrible time trying to get movies to work. The Sony website has a tutorial explaining that video files need to be 320x240. Fine. I used Handbrake to convert a file to this size. It's encoded as H.264/AVC, which the Walkman documentation says is correct. It still won't play. So, it's definitely not as easy as an ipod. But, it sounds a lot better, and that's what counts. Meanwhile I'm sure I'll figure these things out--but the average user's head will probably explode trying to deal with this.

I bought a chinese Superdrive knockoff, and it didnt work, so I spent the extra $$ and bought the Apple USB Superdrive here on Amazon (I had to install the NI bundle this way...sucks..) It works just fine.My advice is "what is another 30 or 40 bucks after spending a small fortune on this machine??" lol
