After seeing quite a few people on here with the black vue in car camera system, I purchased one, quite happy apart from one issue.

The software is all PC specific, is there any way of running PC software on Mac? I can watch the recorded footage but the gps map logging and editing software doesn't.

Thanks in advance for you assistance.

You can use either Bootcamp or Parallels to run Windows on an Intel based Mac.

Bootcamp installs Windows as a completely separate OS that you dual-boot with MacOS. Parallels runs Windows within MacOS so you don't have to reboot to run a Windows program.

Thanks Mike I will go and take a look.

Also what video editing software would you / anybody recommend?

iMovie is a decent basic editor, I use it quite a bit. For the PC side, I use Serif Moveiplus which is more powerful.

Or windows live moviemaker if you want free and simple.

You could also try WINE to try and run software without a virtual machine - but probably will have rubbish results! But it is free!

There's a list on the WINE site of software they've tried, and how well it works/installs somewhere.

Dunno if something as 'small' as that will have been done yet though!

if you can get a copy use Final Cut Pro its the best out there, and dont use wine because with process heavy tasks like decoding/encoding video it will only crash.

I have had a good read on the net last night about editing software, my son has Adobe Premiere but this just confused the hell out of me! I also tried imovie as I have that, was quite simple to use.

I will try and get a copy of final cut to see how that goes, thanks Gents.

££££.....

but worth it if you need it. I use iMovie and Aperture. But for basic editing, as in just trimming you can use Quicktime.

I have been using iMovie, however for photographs I have LR4, CS5 and I use Canon Digital Photo Pro which is really simple and free. I have never used Aperture.
