More info?)
I'm using an eMac with 1 GB of RAM running Panther 10.3.3.
It turns out that Kodak Easyshare 3.3 *did* recognize the fact that I
had a video in the camera, and I was able to transfer the QuickTime
file to my Mac. iPhoto 4.01 *never* recognized the video. So now I
know to use the EasyShare software when importing videos...
Thanks for the info - it's nice to see a Kodak representative helping
people out on Usenet!
