Glad it worked for you! NOTHING BEATS A MAC! :-D

Thanks Emjay, I am going to look into the SnapZ Pro program, thanks for your help. I do have another question for you about your page, how do you post photos on the left side of your page under the RSS feed? Your page is great!

Hi Patty. I use SnapZ Pro X On my mac, so I'm not familiar with iGrabit. What form does your clip take? I'm assuming it's on your desktop? Is it .mov or .mp4? They are the 2 formats I'm most familiar with.

Hi Pat, thanks for your help. I do have iMovie on my mac, but I need to look into the SnapZ program.... will be asking again after I check out the program.

Pat said:

Patty, do you have iMovie on your Mac? That is what I use. I record with Snapz Pro. Then import to iMovie. It works well. I put them on Photobucket or, if they are really short, on Flickr.

Hi, I am on a Mac. I usually watch WE on Quicktime, I downloaded iGrabit to take pics, the pics upload great onto WE. I tried using the movie section of iGrabit to make a video of Peiter climbing the tree during the afternoon drive. (i used codec : DV NTSC) Unfortunately, I don't know what to use to make the video WE friendly for uploading? Any suggestions appreciated

Hi there
I have a question about the applications on my page....one of those available is youtube widget. How does this work? If I have favourites on youtube can i post them then or ..... when i opened the application a bunch of stuff was on my page that wasnb't mine and i didn't want...help! please

[Emjay]

Your best bet is to forget about the widget and add your personal favorites from YouTube itself. You can do it very easily from your page over there. I don't think you'll be able to control what you get on the widget, but if someone knows better, I bow to their knowledge! :-)

I have had nothing but problems with my Snapz Pro since we switched to flash. I don't think it's flash's fault... I think another application I have downloaded is causing interference. The end result is very jerky... freeze, go, freeze, go! Joyce has the same program and has no problem, but that's why I'm no posting video anymore. Got a great clip of the mama and baby raffie the other AM, but don't want to post it. The sound is fine, BTW!

I have a very basic question...i'm on a Mac...how do you get Christmas cards posted?........step by step instructions please!!!!

[Emjay]

The same way you do on MySpace. You find a site that offers graphics for MySpace, copy the code and paste it on the comments on your friends page. OR you can create your own at Photobucket.

Emjay and Deb..considering geting a Mac Book ...of course have been considering this for years..anyways I have always use Windows..but really want this Mac..
How does WE work with mac..can you use the seeking points and all the functions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Carol

[Emjay]

Mac has done a lot to accept Windows programs, and WE is totally compatible with us Mac-ophiles! :-) Just got an iBook for back up (Merry Christmas to me! lol) Much prefer the iMac for size and bells & whistles... lappys are too small and the sound quality can't compare with the table models. BTW... just wore out my first HD and mac care paid for it all! Once you go mac, you'll never go back! lol

Hello Mac Users: Add me to the list :)) I am a mac user too and have 10.4.11 as the system. I have been using SnapZPro from the beginning with no problem. Used to use the control shift 4 for snaps, but can't do that with the SnapZ Pro as it takes that one over. I am going to try and use another F key for the snaps.. That would be great , thanks for that info.

Are some of you able to view the cam on a stand alone player? I use the stream on the page, I know RP doesn't work, but haven't tried anything else for stand alone.

Glad to see a Mac users topic here. :))
