I am not that far. I am still at the problem of finding an HD tape reader to use for importing the tape into my Mac OS, instead of using the camera itself. Does anyone know of such a device? One at a reasonable price? So far, buying a second HD Videocamera would seem to be the cheapest way to go. Thanks Mark

We now have a new Conon HV20 HD camcorder for just shooting around the house and neighborhood. We use Apple Mac computers. Rather than use the Camcorder for playing back stuff, I would like to have a great/good HD film player (and probably backwards compatible for other formats, too) to hook up to the computer for that purpose. Also some recommendations for good, easy to learn software and whatever else one might consider worthwhile to make the work with Video pleasurable. We are starting from scratch and not doing anything pro-level. Mark
