Is there any way to transfer videos taken with a Nikon Coolpix S5 digital camera to my Apple PowerbookG4?

The software that Nikon provided with the camera isn’t compatible with Macs. Does anyone know of any software that can do this? Thanks.

well there are many, USB memory cards and stuff, i think you must have a USB support for your camera or if your Notebook has a memory card reader, you can simply plugin the memory card from the camera in to that and there you go.

ok so i own a Nikon s550 digital camera, i uploaded the photos/video file onto my computer, the video files are under AVI so to download them to Youtube i changed them to either MPG or MPEG…but then it said the file is too small, what does that mean and how/what can i do to change that…the videos were between 2-6 minuets long..please please help me
i tried uploading them as AVI format..and it didnt let me..so i converted it to MPG and it almost did it, it just said that the file was too small..

youtube turns them into flash files automagically. no need to convert.

Small size means the file format may be wrong…

Ensure the file format is correct before uploading to youtube…

Using windows movie maker — you have to save it into the proper file format, that is “wmv” file (use the “save movie file” on the menu at the top left) before upload..

The WMV file will be smaller in size but still quite good quality.. so uploading it will be faster.

also some movie maker version requires to be published instead of save… for that, press “ctrl-p” to publish or search&select a publish option from the menu at the top of the program window.

–for best editing….

use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)… it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc)…. then save it as video file such as wmv file format… finally upload.

or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces….

this will help you…. Use ‘zillatube’. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.

It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker… save your file as wmv and then upload.

It works very well….just google search for “zillatube”
