help please! rookie so I apologize in advance if these are very basic questions.
I am trying to use the "Game Finder" software from Day 6 outdoors for a "plot watcher Pro trail camera". I am using a MacBook Air - very little hard disk space left so I also purchased a WD My Book Live to use for the storage of these videos (and time machine backup)
(The My book live is STILL doing its initial time machine backup - started yesterday and says it has 13 hours left! I guess this is because the transfer is over wi-fi???)
I am using the camera to take lots of pics to record a home building project so I will have massive amount of data.
I have been told that I need to change the .TLV of the videos to .AVI. ???
Here are my questions...
1..once i insert my SD card, can i take the video files directly to the my book live? if so, how? and how do i organize them properly?
2. how can i view or edit them...iMovie? if so, how do i get around the limited disk space on this macbook air? The game finder software allows viewing but ideally id like to be able to link them together to show a nice time lapse video of the contraction...and not have it be ridiculously big file.
3. what about the file extension change....TLV to .AVI how does this happen and why?
***I am also in the transition of updating to mountain lion but i think it had to stop since HD space? I know there are things i could delete to free up space but i dont know how to find them. I used finder to look at the big files and deleted what i could. The color graph showing my storage space had a pretty large chunk of 'OTHER" what is that and how do i find it?
Sorry for all the random questions!
THANK YOU!!!
