Hi, I will be taking a Level 1 class this summer, and I been looking to buy a camera, but it seems that all the software that the cameras in the market comes with are windows base, I'm a Mac user and I hope some of you guys may know  any difernt or maybe a third party software out in the market. I'm base in DFW area, by the way I realy like all the information that I been getting from this forum, you guys rock.
thanks

RE: software for mac

Don't think there are any.  You could get a Windows emulator.

RE: software for mac

It too am a long time Mac user. I used to run "Virtual PC" and it was SLOW. I now run a PowerBook with the dual processor and the PC software programs of the major camera suppliers all seem to run fine when I am in the "parallels" side of the computer. I have not tried the USB connections to all cameras but suspect they will be fine. Best of luck. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

RE: software for mac

Hi Allan,

I've been using a brand new MacBook Pro with an FLIR S65, using boot-camp to run the software. The software runs fine, but the camera will not connect via USB or Firewire cable to the computer. The windows driver wizard simply won't recognise the software drivers supplied with the camera.

On the other hand, they arn't really nessesary. The USB is a terrible method for moving data as the transfer rates are so low. I picked up a flash-card reader for £20 and use that instead. The Firewire connection is really only needed if your looking to do some high-end stuff with the FLIR Researcher package (like continious IR filming), and in that case you probably have the bugget to buy a new PC anyway.
