Need a little help with software compatibility

[Rooky007]

Ok Folks

There is a couple of software I got that can only be run on Windows and as you will know I got a MBP 2006 model.

What would you do get Windows 7 and boot camp it?

Or is there another way round it... But I believe if I use the other software that let me use windows within Mac OS I would still need to purchase Windows 7 Wont I

Ok Folks,

The only thing I want to be able to work to be honest is the software that bundles with my Sony HDR TG7 Camcorder that the only thing I want to be able to use as it require windows. I wont be using anything else as everything else i use I can work on my Mac... Just need to see if crossover will work if not then I dont think shelling out money is my ideal

I can get the camcorder to connect to my Macbook pro no problem at all but i cant use the software that came with it to view my videos and use GPS Tracker etc that only works on windows.

Seem like you know a lot mate would you kindly help me on advising how you would do all this.. What the best way of getting GeoTagging to work wont it work with iPhoto 09?

I cant use the camcorder till xmas day the other half wrapped it and stuck it under the tree....

I tried my friend camcorder the other day who got the same as what I got but he use PC so he no trouble. I am a Proud Mac user so been trying work things out ready

My plan was if not going to use the bundle software is to use iMovie 08 which I have got to do the video side of things. But for Geotagging is where I am stuck

So is there different ways for Geotagging to work? Wont iPhoto pick up the GeoTagging information from the sony camcorder at all? Where are you reading this information about Sony GeoTagging as I am trying to work out what I can do
