So I guess the JVC is good to go with that update?? I do not want to do a bunch of converting and that...
Im really excited to get a camera now...just waiting on which one hehe
kkat69 do you have a link to that codec on apples site?? thanks
I actually unsubcribed to this thread, kinda glad I came back to check on it.
The codec is the Quicktime 6 mpeg 2 for 19.99 on the Apple site
here. May be different for your area but just goto Apple.com click on Store and goto Apple Software and you'll see it.
I actually own both the plug in and qt pro. I honestly don't think you need both. They're both nice to have but you should only need the codec to import.
Here's what I do WITH the camera (files saved on the HD are a different story but aren't that hard to re-import).
Install the plug in. (obviously)
Then, plug in your camera and put it in playback mode (middle switch I believe) and (on mine at least) I see the blue light flickering and iMovie starts up and viola.
If iMovie didn't start up I go ahead and start it up. Wait a bit (on mine I see the blue flickering) and the import window comes up.
The following
video is my mothers day gift to my wife and 60% of the video was imported from my JVC Enverio and the other was file imported MOD (some with and some without the MOI files) files I had stored on a HD (process to do that wasn't as bad as I thought).
Importing like a 59min video file from the camera to iMovie was actually really quick since it's semi compressed/processed already. Real easy to use.
