Camara videos wont work on Mac?

Question

I have a Fidelity digital camera. I filmed a few movies on it, and tried to make an iMovie out of it by using my Mac laptop. I plugged the camera in to the Mac by using the USB cable, and the the computer registered that there was new hardware found. I opened iMovie, and clicked import videos. There were pictures in the folder of my camera (pictures i had taken with the camera), but the movies, which were shown as img 0072 to img 0092, were shown as blank pages. When i double clicked on them, a large page of text and symbols came up. Help! I need these videos for a project and i dont know what to do. I tried the videos on a pc and they worked fine, but i need to use movie making software like iMovie. What should I do?

Answer 1

This is a flash memory based camcorder that stores highly compressed MPEG2 video. iMovie cannot use those files directly.

Download and install StreamClip:

This is a free utility.

Import the MPEG-2 file to StreamClip, export as .mov or DV file. Then import to iMovie.

Answer 2

make sure that your camera is mac comp in videos
