    I use a MacBook Pro most of the time, I'll also use my iPad very rarely. Fire away.

    Ok, here goes, bare with me, it might get kind of long. I will start by saying I am NOT bashing either product!! I have had Coverts for over a year now, so they are not new to me. My last one stopped taking pics, so I sent it in, and they sent me back a new one. Its a Red 40. The only difference I noticed in the cams was the latches, and some settings. When I got this new one, I set it out right away. Had it set on Video, 720. Right about this same time, I got my new Macbook Air. When I checked the cam for the first time, I put the card in, and it came up that the card was in the wrong format, and couldn't read it. My wife did find some app that will allow me to convert the pics, and I can put the videos on my desk top,(not where I want them). So I can at least watch them for my self, even tho its a pain in the butt. But when I put them on youtube, they come out all blurry, and jerky. Never had that happen with my old cam. So, I have no idea if its actually a Macbook problem, or a Covert problem. I have sent Covert a couple of emails, but haven't heard anything yet. So anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? I should add, that I am pretty much computer illiterate....

    I am wondering if in the video of the river, it could be the river lowing messing up the focus?? I might try moving the cam somewhere else to see if they are better. But even if that is the problem, there has to be an easier way to get them on the computer, this way is a pain on the butt!!
