I am looking for a player to transfer my Hi8 video tapes to my Mac. Is this possible with this Walkman?

Hi J Dodich, You can use Firewire, please to make sure your Mac also support this connection. Dave

BF, This is a great question, because the tapes look similar and it can get very confusing. So I'll make it really simple: If you have 8mm tapes, you'd be able to play them on your Hi8 or Digital8 camera, including this Hi-8 model. However, if you had a plain old 8mm camcorder, you wouldn't be able to play your Hi8 or Digital8 tapes - just 8mm tapes. --Mr.S

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.

T. -- a post in April says: [ Works with MAC OSX, April 11, 2007, By Zeligsilver "Zelig" (MN) - The PC system requirements did not address the compatibility with MAC OSX but I connected the player to my IMAC, ignored loading the supplied CD, and dragged music from ITUNES without any problem. ] I would suggest you use it by copying .mp3 files from your iMac into it (just hook up w/ USB cord). They should play fine.

As long as you still have the Hi-8 camcorder and it has a playback mode, which all should. Use the composite RCA jacks from the camcorder to this unit, hit play on the camcorder and record on the Sony unit and you are going.

sadly...no. The transfer utility is great though and the player works quickly and painlessly with any number of computer media players. This is our second Sony and both are extraordinary. Sound is great with lots of enhancements etc...I have never had a storage problem. Take the plunge...you won't regret it......

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.

Hey Duffer: My first answer is," I don't know" The receptacle on the front of the player is a USB. You might check with apple to see if they make a connector with a USB end on it. Another thought, if you are talking to the Apple guys, would be to look into Apple Airport. But -- the connector would probably be the least expensive. JD

Yes you can, I guess there are lots of apps which are able to do this, but I have found NPlayer to do this perfectly. The beauty of this player is that it supports almost all video formats. A definite buy

Hi Matthew, Could you tell me which program you bought to convert so my Mac can recognize the hi res video? Thanks!

Yes. The AGPtek converts the tape directly to mp3 format which is compatible with PC & Mac and any other mp3 player.

Yes,If you go to www.macblurayplayer.com/ there is software for Windows 8. With it, the player runs beautifully through my Dell desktop.

Yes you can. As long as it is in a supported format that iTunes or quicktime player can play. Converters for this can be found through google most are free.

My intention is to just that and Elgato's device has helped a lot. I used the device to copy the whole tape into a QuickTime file. Next I use my Mac to cut up into different clips. Then I'll combine the clips, based on topic (example: highchair moments) onto a DVD I can send to relatives.

Hi Jaime, this Sony CCD-TRV68 doesn't have or support Firewire connection on your Mac PC. For you to transfer videos coming from your Hi8 tapes from this camcorder, what you need is an AV connecting cable (male mini plug to RCA). In addition, you may wanted to use this Sony DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder (model #VRDMC6) for you to transfer on DVD first. Hope this helps. -Ely

I do not see anywhere in the product description or on packaging that it is Mac compatible. Even if it was, I would urge you to steer away from this product. I never could get the software to work. It would not recognize any USB port. I ended up using cassette unit from my old stereo and just plugged it into my Line-Ins, and used Sound Forge to record to MP3. A much more straight forward method. The software is pricey but have had it for several years and didn't think to use when I purchased this POS converter. It's only use to me now is as a Walkman.
