HDR-CX100 Camcorder will not work on my Mac?

Asked by bobisho (178

I’m really hoping the collective can help me, I have a Sony Handycam avc hd model HDR-CX100 and I use a mac. I find that i cannot copy my HD movies or my SD movies to my Mac. There was a CD that came with my Camcorder called PMD, but after some research I found that it doesn’t work with anything other than Windows XP! I was wondering if there was anyway to get my movies off my camcorder to my Mac in a playable form, I’ll try anything right now because I need some of the movie clips on my camcorder for a school project, please help, any information I don’t have I can try to provide if you ask.

It uses a memory stick. Just open that up as an external drive and copy the files across.

I am not sure how you regard that as being your problem. You will need an application with the right codecs to do anything with it. I use Adobe Premier for my HD video editing, not too expensive, but it is certainly not free. I am not sure whether there are any free apps that will do it. Maybe you should look at the various option for running PC apps on your Mac. Not a graceful solution, but one that works if you don’t want to fork out for Mac software.
