I've been searching the forum for any reference to Mac support. I've understood already that the camera embeds the GPS location data into the video file - and others save a separate file - and that there is no Mac software for decoding those, and that's ok, my question here is about the video files:
- if I take the SD card and put on my Mac, will I get a standard filesystem (FAT32 I assume) with .mov files that can be played on Quicktime (standard H264+AAC), whereas the file will have the speed and date/time overlaid (if enabled on the menus), or is it something more complicated?
I understand that on Windows there is a need for installing drivers and all that mess even for standard stuff, but H264 and AAC and specially the MOV container are native on MacOSX, so will it just work out of the box?
Again, I understand that the GPS data needs Windows software, and connecting the GS device via USB to the Mac will most probably result in no device being recognized at all, but that is ok, I can discover a windows machine for the GPS and any potential firmware update in case the firmware update is ever needed and the SD procedure doesn't work.
Thanks in advance. Sorry if it's a basic question.
