How do i connect the DCR-SR45 to a macbook?

Question

i want to download my videos on to a macbook pro

Answer 1

With a USB cable. The camera needs to be in "Play" mode. The hard drive should mount like any other mass storage device (to the desktop). Copy the video files to the Mac's hard drive...

You need to convert the files from the very highly compressed MPEG2 format to .mov or .dv or .mp4... using StreamClip

Then you can drag/drop the converted files to iMovie of FinalCut...
