I will gather the needed info from her as soon as I can, and post back. Just thought there may a general answer for this. thx

Can I use ION VIDEO 2 PC on my iMac? .....OR what can my friend use instead? It's actually HER Apple, not mine.

My friend has an iMac, she used to have Tiger 10.4, then upgraded to I think the Leopard, Snow Leopard, or even to Lion...she doesn't even know. The one thing that I think gave it a way was the PC part of Video 2 PC.....Apples are NOT PC's...right? An apple is an Apple, and a PC is everything else?

My friend bought this ION VIDEO 2 PC, but she has an APPLE iMac, not a reg. PC.

Not sure what Apple O.S. she has. She did have Tiger 10.4 OS, but may have upgraded to LION or at least Snow Leopard 10.6... ???

My Main question is this.....Can she use this ION VIDEO 2 PC device to capture video from either her HD Camcorder or analog camcorder? I don't know if she has iMovie or iDvd, then use the ION device to capture, then use her apple software to maybe edit/burn DVD's.

Thanks for any help! OR, does she need to return this, and then get something a little more iMAC friendly? ( ‘Grass Valley’ or ‘Pinnacle Studio’ software?)

She doesn’t know much about computers, not Apples nor PC’s. She doesn’t even know if she has the iMovie or iDVD installed on her iMac. I’m just trying to help her capturing video from both her Analog or digital camcorders, then burning to DVD.

What? Could you get us some better information? Like what kind of camcorder does she have? Also, could you ask her to tell you what OS she is running? Click the apple in the upper left corner and then About This Mac
