Hi,
Our school purchased a Sony Handycam DCR-SX63, which we have discovered is not "compatable" with Macs. Unfortunately we are Mac based, and returning it isn't an option now. I have been able to view photos captured with the Camcorder but the MPEGs say the file could not be opened and it is not a movie file. I discovered VLC which will allow me to view the files on a Mac, but is there a solution that will allow me to save/import these files into iMovie? I am running 10.4.11
Thanks!
DC

The DCR-SX63 records to MPeg2 format. You need to convert MPeg2 to DV for import to iMovie.
iMovie directly supports DV format camcorders (Digital8 and MiniDV).
