Help with transferring camcorder videos to my mac?

Question

I just bought a JVC Everio camcorder (GZ-MG365). It's a hard disk drive with a doc system. However, my mac won't read the movie files so I can edit the footage or record it to DVD as is. The product came with software, but it only works on a PC. Does anyone know how to get around using the file format .MOD or how to get MAC based software to read the camcorder file?

Answer 3

Upgrade to iMovie 7, it might be compatible with your model camera (it's not on the list). You can still keep iMovie 6 on the startup disk alongside iMovie 7.
