software for jvc

I have two JVC camcorders. One is a gr-d796 and the other is a gr d244u.

After trying to transfer video from them to my imac and imovie not "finding" them I researched the problem online and found a list of imovie compatible camcorders (I believe on this site). It appears none of the jvc GR series will work with imovie. Is there any software or freeware I can download to transfer video from either of these cam corders?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

The fact that the cameras aren't on the list doesn't mean they won't, or shouldn't be able to, work, just that Apple hasn't tested that model and confirmed it to work. The GR-D796 was tested by MacWorld and according to them works with a Mac, so if yours isn't, something's wrong. You might want to ask for help in the iMovie forum. The GR-D244u also shows as a MiniDV camcorder so it should also work with iMovie, so again you might want to ask about this in the iMovie forum.

Regards.
