Default PDR and Mac computers

I know the PDR audio doesn't play on Macs. Is there a way to get the audio to play in iMovie? I have the VLC player and the audio is fine there. But I'd like to use iMovie to do some editing.

I watch my PDR videos on my mac all the time ..Right click on the video you would like to watch on your mac. when that box opens select open with other. then when the list pops up select to open with iPhoto and it works like a charm ,,with sound too

I have a '15. AND, my car has NOT had the PDR software patch installed. You guys remember when there was an update that helps improve the video quality? This same update also eliminates the ability of Valet Mode to record audio....mine still does that. I am getting this update done in a couple weeks...my PDR video quality is meh...the old school video quality that we complained about.

Maybe that will help with the iPhoto trick.

Use VLC to convert it to MP4 and iMovie should recognize it.

Why not use the Cosworth software?

Again...cosworth not compatible with Mac...which I’m aware of. I have a widows emulator to run cosworth. Haven’t installed cosworth yet.

I used free software handbrake to process all PDR videos and then sound works. and can airdrop them right back to phone.
