I have a JVC camcorder, and I was wondering, I can export my videos/pictures onto my vmware windows vista, but i have so many problems on there that I can’t work with the videos I export into it.
Is there any way I can get my videos onto my mac?

Which camcorder manufacturer and model – or media storage type?
Which Mac?
miniDV tape and digital 8 tape require a firewire connection from the camcorder’s DV port to the Mac’s firewire port. The new MacBook and MacBook Air have no firewire port and no way to add one. ALL other Macs made in the last 10+ years have a firewire port. You need to buy a firewire cable because they are not included in the box with the Mac or the camcorder.
Consumer flash memory and hard disc drive based standard definition camcorders use a USB connection – and the camcorder memory will mount to the desktop like any other external mass storage device. Copy the files to the Mac, Download and install StreamCliphttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/vi…
to convert the MOD files to MOV files so iMovie can deal with them.
Consumer flash memory, hard disc drive and DVD based high definition AVCHD camcorders also use a USB connection – and the camcorder memory will mount to the desktop like any other external mass storage device. The MTS files can be dealt with using iMovie ‘08 or newer. Just drag them to a new iMovie Log/Capture pane. The Mac needs to be running an Intel cpu. The DVD needs to be in a drawer loading DVD drive – never put a small or odd-shaped disc in a slot loader.
Consumer DVD based standard definition camcorders write to VOB format files that need to be ripped using a drawer loading DVD drive and you need to install a DVD ripper – like HandBrakehttp://handbrake.fr/
The DVD needs to be in a drawer loading DVD drive – never put a small or odd-shaped disc in a slot loader.
Analog camcorders (VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, etc) require an analog/digital bridge like the Canopus ADVC55 or ADVC110 – but this presumes your Mac has a working firewire port.
It’s very easy to input your video from camera to your macbook,iMovie will automatically detect when you have a FireWire camcorder connected.Perhaps you may follow this step by step:
1.Connect camcorder to your Mac computer with cable (USB/Wifi)
2.Select mode of camcorder such as PC/Computer mode
3.iMovie will automatic open Import window
4.If DVD Player automatic open. just quit DVD Player first
5.Now, you can review your video or select “Import All”(make sure your switch is set to “Automatic”)
6.If you select “Manual”, you can import some clip to iMovie
7.If you import from Tape based device (DV/HDV), iMovie will automatic revise tape and import all
8.iMovie automatic create thumbnail video after complete import
