If I remember rightly please don't shoot me if i am wrong. I think you have to use firewire on Macs! not a 100% sure try connecting via firewire it should be ok. Firewire is the best way to capture video to a computer be it pc or Mac, it has a mush better continuous transfer rate, less chance of dropped frames Good luck RR
