A nice piece of hardware but that all.There is absolutely no functionality other than capturing the MPG file to the MAC.For those who are not aware mpg2 is virtually not supported on the Mac.The I-life suite offers no mpg editing nor does the Final cut express.For this hardware to claim to be for the Mac one would assume that it would export into I-Movie or offer some sort of mpg editing software.To be fair what it does it does well, but without even the most basic editing functions I had to return my unit. And certainly would warn others off.
