"How to upload my sony cyber shot videos to my computer?

I just took a video on my sony cyber-shot and I opened up the folder that has all the pictures on it in it, and the video doesn't show up. I can see it when i go through my camera, but I can't find it through my computer. Help?"

"All of my movies from iphoto aren't displayed in iMovie. Although there is one movie that shows up and it is from a friends flip camera. All of my other movies taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V don't show up. Could it be a compatibility problem with the camera? When I manually import a movie file from the Sony Cyber-shot it works but it does say the file has the wrong frame rate and needs to be converted.

Hopefully someone has a solution soon or Apple releases an iMovie update that solves this problem. This is an unacceptable problem.
