Canon powershot movie capture

[martijnvandijk]

My Canon Powershot A40 allows me to take small quicktime films apart from taking photo's. Can anyone tell me how i can capture these small movies in OSX?

they download just like your pictures

They make avi movies don't they?

but I import them using iPhoto. I haven't found any other usable (read: OSX) software

have you tried 'image capture'? It is in your applications directory.

... I haven't tried that. I feel ashamed, especially if it will work. Feel like a newbie. let you know

On your software CD from Canon there are utilities. The Image Browser utiliity will allow you to quickly download both pictures and movie clips. Make sure your communications setting on your camera is set to "normal" and not "PTP". When set to PTP mode, your mac will automaticall launch iPhoto and Canon's Image Browser will not work.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

I have a powershot s30 and image capture works great for downloading the movies.

I've got an S30 and I download the movies with Image Capture.
