The software that comes with the camera will not work on Windows 8 but you can get updated version that will on their website. The update is a basic version (no special effects) but the camera works great, much better than the one built into my laptop.

On the back side of the box, it states the minimum requirements. I see Windows XP, Vista, and 7. No Windows 8. I use Windows 7 and do not need to be on the internet.

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

Hi, I think what you will need is a DVD-R for your cam! The cd-r won't hold the visuals on it, strictly audio:)

plugged my in and it automatically set itself up. I have Win 7 ultimate. My cam worked fine right from the start. Good luck

The webcam may work for Windows XP. Im not sure. When I received mine, it came with no instructions, no manual, nothing. Just the webcam wrapped in bubble wrap. AND to top it off, it didn't work and would NOT connect to my desktop or laptop

I still use XP Pro. I expect my Capture will work on newer versions of windows. 8.* is supposed to have touch screen capabilities.

Yes, it is recognized as a standard USB webcam, so you can it with any modern OS. You can use any software that allows you to see the image from a webcam.

Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (SP2), Macintosh OS X 10.4.8+. Also requires available DVI or VGA connection on your video card, available USB port, and CD/DVD drive. That's the minimum. The programs that you use with it will define your video card, processor and ram requirements.
