For Mac Users - I understand using VLC, however, how do you get it to mount / appear? VLC doesn't see this at all.. I can't browse to it, can't do anything really... Help?

I am not a Mac user, but it should be recognized when you plug it into a USB port.

I am running it just fine on 10.8.4 on a 2-3 year old Mac Book. I just downloaded the software from the website and it popped right up. Been very happy with it so far. I have been running at the max resolution (1920x1080) with no problem. I did a lot of research before buying, here's my advice, this was the best USB 2.0 device I could find and the price is great BUT if you have a computer with USB 3.0 I would look at USB 3.0 devices. Hope that helps.

I have yet to get it to work on my MacBook Pro but some of that may be my own error. Apple just sent out an OS upgrade called OS X which is listed on the label of the Zoombinis box. Before this upgrade when I would put the disc in the drive it would show up on Finder with the circle and slash of something now allowed or not supported by the OS. Now I get the symbols clearly but still haven't managed to get it to run. Like I said, that may be my fault, I'm still learning how to use Mac rather than PC.

I used the USB cable that came with my Cannon Vixia and plugged it into my iMac. Then a disc image appears on the desktop. You can drag and drop the videos on the desktop, or have iMovie or quicktime etc to import the movies. Youtube has many tutorials about things like this, so check them out.

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

I believe I was on Lion or Mountain Lion when I purchased it and put it on my mac. I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and still have access to iDVD. So I don't think you will have a problem.

Excellent review. My questions are: 1. After you made your 17 Gb movie did you burn it into iDVD? If so, how did you fit that size movie into a 4.7 GB DVD?ThanksSony DCR-SR100 novice mac user (G5 imac)

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..? Dan

It should show up in disk utility, and you can mount it then it will show up in Finder.applications>utilities>disk utility---see drive in left column > right click > click mountLet me know if this works for you.

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.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can get the menu to display (the DMPort menu), but no video or pictures.Interested in any feedback from anyone who has tried this.

you will need to try and install VLC media player, I had issues with this too and VLC media player worked. I don't remember where I found it, but this site might work. http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

Download vlc media player I use this and have never had any problems. It can run almost every video format. Just google vlc media player and it comes up . Then select your operating system and it'll download. If that doesn't work you probably have a problem with your computer.

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