How to import a video on Canon camera to my Macbook?
I have a Canon camera and have had no problems importing pictures or videos in the past, but all of a sudden there is one avi on my camera that will not import.
I have tried importing it through image capture already, but that isn’t working either.
Any further hints?
I would take the memory card out of the camera and use a card reader connected to the MacBook.
I would download and install Flip4Mac

if all I want to is watch the video… but if I want to edit the video (with iMovie or FinaCut), I would download and install MPEG StreamClip

and convert that AVI file to MOV or MP4 format then drag that converted file to the capture area (of iMovie or FinalCut).
“Image Capture” is for stills - not video.
