    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption.

Not to sound like a total idiot, but I'm having trouble synchronizing my Canon Vixia HFR10 video camera with my MacBook pro. On the camera, I can see my video just fine. But when I plug in the camera to its charger and the computer (all the cords are correct), I can't find the video in any of the folders from the camera. I have no idea what's going on...any help would be very much appreciated!

Make sure you select 'PC' mode on the camcorder then start iMovie and connect the camcorder to your Mac.

You should now be able to import the video as required.
