Can the Sony DCR-SR65 camcorder connect to a Mac?

I want to buy it for my friend


and he has a mac mini


i just want to make sure that this camcorder will be able to connect to his computer without any problems



Yes. With the USB cable that comes in the box - it is a regular mini-USB to USB connector. The camcorder needs to be in PC mode and will mount like any other external "mass storage device" to copy the highly compressed MPEG2 files.





The video will need to be converted.





Handy tools to have:





Flip4Mac (for playback):
