The POV.1 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.
Mac:
Plug the POV.1 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader in your computer. After a simple installation of quicktime components for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!

* Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library to move them between the POV.1 and your computer, or drag onto a play area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.
* See tags on the timeline during playback, and extract clips to the “Storyboard” window to quickly edit your video.
* Use the “Share” function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.

Here's what 2005 Australian Rally Champion Dale Moscatt thinks of the RaceRecall & the POV.1
"I have been involved in motorsport for fifteen years now and have fumbled around with numerous different cameras and setups during that time. I can honestly say this is not only the most compact and user friendly unit that I've used but also the ONLY one that I have not had a problem with. The POV has both the best quality picture and with the least amount of fuss, so as a professional co-driver this reliability is paramount for me and it's because of this that there is now no decision to be made for both which camera I use and recommend. it makes a very pleasant change indeed to be dealing with someone in this day and age that still cares about the customer and the service they are providing."
