Until a PC Card to ExpressCard/34 adapter is available, then you can put the cam in the PC mode and download via Firewire.

You can also capture to the MBP internal (not recommended) or external FW drive. Best to use an ExpressCard/34 FW 400 card for the cam.

You'll need the FCStudio Universal Binary version, which is currently 5.1.1.

Those are all methods you can use, I'm sure they all work. Some with less of a headache than others. I'm waiting on my P2 store to use with my HVX and MBP. Also waiting for the SATA Express Card to come out so I can use it with my two drive bay.

I just got an HVX and P2 store and I'm using it with a MBP with a firewire direct express adaptor FW800 card and a G-Raid. The only issues I'm having is unreliable copies from the P2 store to the MBP. I'm hoping upgrading the firmware and turning off the motion sensor in the P2 Store will solve those issues.
