What camcorder works with Mac and the HD quality can be viewed on my 1080 46 inch sony?

blu ray player download for mac image

Shree P

Id like a camcorder. Couple year older is fine i can get it on ebay that records in HD and is compatible to download onto my Mac. AND that if I want I can burn onto a disc and watch them with HD quality on my 1080 Tv?
I would also like to edit the videos once downloaded so I can make movies so i want the software to be all recognized.

Answer
What is your budget?

Which Apple Macintosh?
The MacBook Air and some MacBooks have no firewire port so that takes miniDV tape camcorders off the table - but just for them. ALL other Macs made in the last 10 years have a firewire port. If the Mac is running OSX, has an Intel CPU and is running iMovie '08 or newer, then AVCHD camcorders will get along.

This gets the high definition video into the computer for editing...

Now for output...

Assuming you have a Blu Ray player connected to your HDTV, you should get a Blu Ray burner connected to your Mac... LaCie makes good ones...

Another option is to connect your Mac to the HDTV - no need to burn a disk. Or get a MacMini to be a media server. The new ones can connect using either HDMI or component (+ audio).

Which DVD player...
If you have only a regular DVD player, there is nothing you can do to *make* it play high definition video, so just use iDVD and have it downsample the high def video to standard def and render for you.

But you have not supplied enough information and we don't know what you have so we don't know if your specific environment is equipped to do what you want.

I've been capturing high definition video, importing to Macs, editing and playing back standard and high definition video for about five years... using Sony and Canon camcorders...

Do I need a Mac to transfer digital copies onto my iTunes/iPod?

Turkey

Quite obviously, my iTunes works on my PC, but I was looking at the requirements on my digital copy paper (it's one of those that comes with a Blu-Ray) & it talks about WMP & Windows requirements or iTunes & Mac requirements. So, I just wanted to double-check that my digital copy will work when I download it for iTunes via PC before I waste a one-time-only download. Thanks for your help!

Answer
No, Mac is not necessary, PC can do the job. Actually, you can use Windows Media Player to download the digital copies to computer, then transfer it to iTunes and sync it to iPod.
