How do I get the video off my camera?

I recently recoreded a video with my digital camrea (kodak easy share C533). I've never had a problem getting the video off my camera and onto my computer until now. For some reason the video refuses to get off the camera.

For videos I usually just plug my camera into the computer and open Graphic Converter and download it from there.

So my question is...
1) Why isn't it downloading onto my computer?
2) Is there any other program I should use to do this?

i use iphoto to copy my pictures and videos from my powershot. It work pretty dang well.

althought once... i had one video that refused to copy. It was quite strange. froze iphoto every time i tried. I ended up using the canon software that comes with the camera and it worked fine.

Well I found my Kodak cd that came with the camera and that worked to get the video off.
How do you use iPhoto to get videos off? Is it supposed to just download the videos when you import the photo or is there a specific thing you have to do?

And thanks for your imput.

No, Image Capture didn't work for me either. But I've never really used it much before.
