Connecting the POV.1 to a Mac

You can connect the POV.1.5 to a Macintosh (version 10.3.9 or higher) using the USB cable included with the unit.
Before connecting the POV.1.5 to the Mac, V.I.O. recommends that you install the Quicktime components enabling MPEG4 playback that you can download from the following website at http://www.perian.org
To edit the videos in iMovie ‘08/09 you may need to convert them to a .MOV file format using MPEG StreamClip from http://www.squared5.com. This solution will work for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 only.
When the USB cable is connected, the POV.1.5 automatically changes to USB mode.
- The SDHC card installed in the POV.1.5 Recorder will appear as a storage device (disk drive) on the Macintosh.
- You can also remove the SDHC card from the POV.1.5 Recorder and place the card directly into an SDHC card reader attached to the Mac.
You can access and download clips by opening the POV.1.5 folder, then the DCIM folder, and finally the 100_POV1 folder.
NOTE: Editing software on the Mac does not recognize the TAG marks that you may have placed on your video during Clip recording.
