[SOLVED] Videos on camera, but aren't showing up on mac!

[babyghost]

I just purchased a new 32 GB sd card for my Panasonic DMC-ZS25. After filming a few videos, I can see them on the camera but whether I plug the camera in, or put the sd card in the computer, they don't show up.

Help?

And I have looked in other folders but they aren't there either, only weird files ending in .exe

What folders do you see when you put the SD card into the Mac? I have a Canon that records in AVCHD and in Finder it shows only one file labeled AVCHD (along with some folders) regardless of how many clips there are. Did you format the card in the camera before recording your videos? Not sure this YouTube video will help but it may be worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs2wif7VSoY
According to that video the video file would be labeled "Private".

Look on page 137 of the user manual - http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS25_ADV.PDF . It states that motion pictures can only be copied using iMovie 11 on a Mac. I'm sure this will work with the latest version of iMovie.

Glad I could help and that you are able to see your videos.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have the same camera, but couldn't see them on my PC (non Mac) and your solution worked for me too.
